How to Optimize Django REST APIs for Performance: Profiling, Caching, and Scaling.
**

Performance problems in APIs rarely start as performance problems. They usually start as small design decisions that worked perfectly when the application had ten users, ten records, or a single developer testing locally. Over time, as traffic increases and data grows, those same decisions begin to slow everything down. In this article, we’ll walk step by step through how performance issues arise in Django REST APIs, how to see them clearly using profiling tools, and how to fix them using query optimization, caching, pagination, and basic scaling strategies. This article will be most useful for developers who already understand Django, the Django REST Framework, and REST concepts, but are new to performance optimization...
