FAQ
Django REST Framework or FastAPI: which should I choose?
DRF is best for apps that need a built-in admin panel and lots of standard CRUD features. FastAPI is best for high-performance or async APIs. Share your idea and I'll recommend the right one.
Can you work on my existing project?
Yes. I can fix bugs, add endpoints or improve performance in your existing Django or FastAPI codebase, following its current structure.
What is included in the Bug Fix or Consultation package?
One bug fix, a focused code review, or a 1-hour consultation. If the work turns out bigger, I'll tell you before starting, so there are no surprises.
Will my API handle growth and heavy traffic?
Yes. I design for scale from day one: optimized database queries and indexes, pagination, caching where it helps, background tasks for slow jobs, and stateless services that run in Docker so you can add servers as traffic grows. I can also profile and speed up an existing API.
