Overview

This development template offers a robust starting point for building a production-ready application using Django Rest Framework, React with Typescript, and Postgres in a Dockerized environment. As of November 2022, Heroku has removed its free tier, but this template can be deployed elsewhere or adjusted for new platforms. It is designed for seamless integration and offers a comprehensive set of tools and libraries, making it suitable for both backend and frontend development.

This setup has been tested with Python 3.10 and Node 16, ensuring compatibility and support for modern development practices. Whether you choose to use Docker or prefer a local setup without it, this template provides the flexibility and resources needed to create efficient applications.
