- Dynamic app content management
- Advanced project activity logging
- Small file uploading and browsing
- Managing server-side background jobs
- Caching and aggregation of data from external services
- Tracking site information and statistics
Basics of Django site setup and instructions for third party packages used are considered out of scope for this documentation. Please refer instead to official documentation of Django and/or the packages in question.
