The High-Level Python Web Framework for Rapid, Secure Development
Django is Python's batteries-included web framework — shipping with an ORM, admin panel, authentication, form validation, and security middleware out of the box. Matlab Infotech builds Django REST APIs, content platforms, and SaaS backends that leverage its "don't repeat yourself" philosophy to deliver production-ready systems faster, with fewer bugs.
20+ yrs
Since 2005
Django was released in 2005 and powers Instagram, Pinterest, and Disqus.
v5.x
Latest Release
Django 5 added async ORM queries, database-computed default values, and facet filters in admin.
DRF
API Standard
Django REST Framework is used by the majority of Django projects for REST APIs.
Zero
SQL Injection Risk
Django ORM parameterises all queries — SQL injection is prevented by default.
Why Django
Why Django for Python Backends
Batteries Included
Auth, admin, ORM, migrations, sessions, forms, caching, email, and more — Django ships production tools, not a minimalist skeleton.
Powerful ORM
Django ORM turns Python classes into database tables with automatic migrations — complex joins, annotations, and aggregations in clean Python syntax.
Automatic Admin
Django auto-generates a full CRUD admin interface from your models — content management, user management, and operational dashboards in zero time.
Security by Default
CSRF protection, XSS escaping, SQL injection prevention, clickjacking headers, and secure password hashing — on by default, not opt-in.
Django REST Framework
DRF adds serialisers, viewsets, routers, and authentication classes — the de facto standard for Django REST APIs used by Instagram and Mozilla.
Scales with the Right Tools
Gunicorn/Uvicorn, Celery for async tasks, Redis caching, and PostgreSQL at the persistence layer — a proven Django stack scales to millions of users.

Client Stories
What Our Clients Say
"Matlab Infotech built our Django SaaS backend from scratch. The admin panel alone saved us months — our ops team manages everything without touching code."
Ahmed Al-Rashid
Co-founder · InvoiceFlow
"Our Django API was suffering from N+1 queries — 800ms response times. Matlab Infotech optimised the ORM queries and added Redis caching. We are now at 45ms average."
Caitlin Burke
Backend Lead · DataHub
"The Wagtail CMS platform Matlab Infotech built for our editorial team is a dream. We publish 20 articles a day and the workflow features are exactly what we needed."
Marco Rossi
Digital Director · MediaGroup
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Django
Should I use Django or FastAPI for a new project?
Use Django when you need built-in auth, admin, ORM, migrations, and a rich ecosystem of packages. Use FastAPI when you need the highest possible throughput, native async, and do not need the built-in admin or ORM.
Is Django suitable for microservices?
Django is designed for monoliths and does that very well. For microservices, Django adds weight that may not be needed in each service. We typically use Django for the main service and lighter frameworks (FastAPI, Starlette) for auxiliary microservices.
How does Django handle async?
Django 4.1+ supports async views and middleware natively with Uvicorn or Hypercorn ASGI servers. Django Channels extends this to WebSockets. The ORM supports async query execution in Django 4.1+.
What is Django REST Framework?
DRF is Django's de facto REST API library. It adds serialisers (model to JSON and validation), viewsets (CRUD endpoints from a model in about 10 lines), routers (automatic URL generation), and authentication classes — dramatically reducing boilerplate.
How do you manage database migrations in Django?
Django migration system tracks every schema change in version-controlled migration files. makemigrations detects model changes; migrate applies them. We use zero-downtime techniques for production tables with millions of rows.
Is Django secure for production?
Yes — Django protects against CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, clickjacking, and MIME sniffing by default. Following the deployment checklist (HTTPS, SECRET_KEY rotation, DEBUG=False) covers the remaining surface.
