Building Scalable Architecture with Django and React

In modern web engineering, the separation of concerns between front-end and back-end is no longer just a preference—it's a requirement for scalability. By decoupling Django REST Framework from a React/Next.js frontend, we achieve perfect modularity. This article explores how to architect systems that handle thousands of concurrent requests while maintaining a sub-200ms latency profile through strategic caching (Redis), optimized database querying (PostgreSQL), and containerized deployments (Docker).
