Summary
In this chapter, we learned a lot of concepts regarding how to work with models and databases. First, we learned how to configure our Django project with ElephantSQL, which enabled us to work with PostgreSQL on our local system without the hassle of setting up a PostgreSQL server. Then, we learned about the basic concepts of ORM and how we can use normalization in Django models, along with the model’s inheritance concept.
Migration is a crucial part of any application, and we saw how Django eases the pain of database schema migration. We learned the tricks of using Django migration in our regular development cycle and the best practices we should follow while working with it. Django ORM is one of the pioneers of how frameworks should handle database interaction. After, we covered the best practices that we can follow with Django ORM before looking at a couple of performance optimization tricks that developers can use to build a scalable application.
