Django + PostgreSQL + Django REST Framework Starter
Django, PostgreSQL, Pydantic, and Ruff form a backend service configuration where the generated project is centered on a backend service. Better Fullstack can scaffold this exact compatibility-checked selection.
01 / selection
Stack at a glance
| Role | Technology | Repository description | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backend | Django | High-level Python web framework with batteries included | Primary backend |
| Database | PostgreSQL | Advanced SQL database | Project-wide |
| ORM | None | Skip Python ORM selection | Project-wide |
| Validation | Pydantic | Data validation using Python type annotations | Scoped to the backend |
| Code quality | Ruff | An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter | Scoped to the backend |
02 / architecture
How the pieces fit
- The generated stack is centered on a backend service with no browser frontend.
- Pydantic is scoped to the backend.
- Ruff is scoped to the backend.

06 / checks
Compatibility notes
Compatibility checked against Better Fullstack types version 2.3.1.
The generated record has 0 graph issues and 0 disabled selected options. This is a compatibility check, not a claim that this exact scaffold received a runtime smoke verification.
- Python ORM / Database is intentionally set to none.
07 / fit
When to choose this shape
Choose this shape when the generated project should expose backend functionality without a browser frontend.

Questions
Is this combination supported?
It passes the repository's compatibility analysis, selected-option checks, stack graph validation, project schema parsing, and virtual generation. That result is described here as compatibility checked.
Does it generate one app or separate parts?
The generated project is centered on a backend service. The actual generated output uses a single-directory layout.
How can I customize the selection?
Open the generated builder link above. Its query parameters reproduce this selection, and the builder can change compatible options before generating a new command.
