From Zero to Scalable APIs in Django — A Full-Day Hands-On Workshop in Bengaluru

I’m hosting a full-day, in-person Django workshop in Bengaluru designed for developers who want to learn how to build, test, and scale Django REST APIs the right way. This is a fast-paced, hands-on day where we code together, write tests that actually catch bugs, and talk about the backend patterns that matter in real projects.

This isn’t a webinar or a theory-heavy seminar. It’s a day of real coding, practical learning, and building something substantial from scratch.

What We’ll Cover

We’ll combine everything you need to construct a robust Django backend — from REST API design to testing to essential scalability foundations.

1. Building REST APIs with Django REST Framework (DRF)
   We’ll kick off by creating a new Django project and building REST APIs using DRF. You’ll learn how serializers, viewsets, and routers work, how to structure your code cleanly, and how to build endpoints that follow real-world backend patterns.
2. Permissions, Authentication, and Role-Based Access
   We’ll go deeper into access control. You’ll learn how to secure your API using DRF’s permission system, handle authentication correctly, and support multiple user roles in a maintainable way.
3. Customizing Django Admin for Real Projects
   Django Admin can be a powerful internal tool when customized well. We’ll enhance filters, search, layouts, and workflows so your admin feels polished and optimized for actual team usage.
4. Test-Driven Development (TTD) in Django
   In the afternoon, we shift into testing. You’ll understand how TDD works, why it matters, and how to apply it in Django projects. We’ll start by testing models, views, and endpoints, and discuss how to organize a clean test suite.
5. Testing with factory_boy and faker
   You’ll learn to use factory_boy for generating test objects and faker for realistic test data. This makes your tests more powerful, less brittle, and far easier to maintain as your codebase grows.
6. Scaling Fundamentals for Django APIs
   We’ll wrap up the day with a look at foundational scaling concepts. Caching, throttling, async considerations — the practical ideas that help your API handle growth without breaking.

The Experience

You’re not just attending a workshop. You’re spending a day focused on learning, thinking, coding, and getting better with Django — with everything else taken care of.

Your ticket includes:

• Breakfast
• Lunch
• High tea (twice)
• A premium workspace for the entire day
• Workshop materials and codebase
• Certificate of completion
• Post-workshop connection via the Djangoluru community

It’s an immersive experience designed to keep you energised, focused, and learning at your best.

Who This Is For

This workshop is perfect for:

• Early-career developers who want to build serious backend skills
• Python programmers transitioning into backend roles
• Full-stack developers looking to strengthen their backend fundamentals
• Anyone tired of scattered tutorials and ready to learn by doing

Basic Python knowledge is enough. No prior Django experience is required — we start from zero.

About the Instructor

The workshop is led by Kuldeep “KD” Pisda, a backend engineer working with Django, AWS, and scalable backend systems. KD has spent the past several years building and shipping Django applications for startups across India, Singapore, and the US. He is also the founder of Djangoluru, Bengaluru’s dedicated Django developer community.

His teaching style is simple: no fluff, no over-explaining, no wasted time — just code, clarity, and practical learning.

Why You Should Attend

By the end of the day, you won’t just “know Django better.”
You’ll walk away with a complete API project built by your own hands, a proper test suite, and the confidence to apply these practices in real jobs and real products.

If you’re serious about becoming a strong backend engineer, this one day will change how you think about Django and how you build backend systems.

Seats are limited.

Join us for a full day of building, learning, eating good food, and connecting with developers who care about doing backend the right way.
