Combining Django ORM & FastAPI in a Data Visualization Tool
summary
Shows a production data‑visualization app that combines FastAPI (async) with Django ORM (mostly sync), uses sync-to-async decorator or Django 4.2 async helpers, runs under uvicorn in Docker, and keeps Django admin for non‑developer access. Tests include unit tests with a fake repository and integration tests that run migrations and truncate tables via fixtures. Main pain is frequent sync/async runtime errors and missing async features (notably async transactions) but the hybrid setup is deployed and works in production.
