Description

Django REST Framework focus on Don’t Repeat Yourself is useful for code simplicity and compatibility with built-in solutions for permissions, pagination, filters, etc. However, after projects grow in complexity, DRF’s default architecture isn’t enough to ensure code maintainability. Often, any change requires navigating through a lot of nesting to ensure all necessary ORM calls and avoid serious performance slowdowns. In this talk, you’ll learn how to use a custom data prefetch layer to avoid those issues by gathering together code that changes together.
