A Django-based web application with a REST API and database backend for serving and querying the results produced using the SIGNAL pipeline.
This project is under active development. Expect frequent changes.
The application is built with Django 5.2.x and Django REST Framework, running inside a Docker environment with PostgreSQL as the database. The app includes:
Data Loader: Efficient management scripts for bulk-loading structured data into the database.
REST API: Fully featured RESTful endpoints built on modular Django and DRF views, providing structured and secure access to your data.
Search & Filtering: Powerful search capabilities and filters for API queries.
Linked Models & Views: A clean, relational data model connected to class-based views and serializers for logical, maintainable code architecture.
Automatic Migrations: Schema migrations are handled using Django’s migration framework, ensuring database evolution is reliable and version-controlled.
Dockerized Environment: Seamless local and production environments using Docker Compose, including PostgreSQL and other dependencies.
