Digest and Test

Let’s refresh our memory by summarizing the main ideas discussed in this chapter:

• We covered some important points about optimizations and security. We implemented a logout endpoint to denylist tokens, added caching to the Django application using Redis, optimized the backend build using webpack, and secured the full stack application over HTTPS using AWS CloudFront.

• We covered how to build a powerful and robust full stack application using Django and React. We covered how to create a project from scratch, build an API secured with JWT tokens, build a frontend application with React and Bootstrap, and deploy the applications on AWS. We explored Docker and tools such as GitHub Actions to make the development and deployment process secure, faster, and automated. You can now build and deploy a full stack application using Django and React.
