Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use Django Admin in our project. Django Admin is both customizable and scalable if we use the appropriate configuration, so we explored best practices to utilize its functions to their full capacity. We also learned when we should avoid using Django Admin and the performance issues developers face. Then, we learned about another powerful feature of working with Django, which is creating custom management commands.

Something we briefly learned about is how to create superusers in Django, but we didn’t explore much about how authentication and authorization work. In the next chapter, we’ll explore how we can use the Django authentication system better and how to expand it so that it supports different types of authentications, such as social auth, token-based auth, and more.
