Scalability, in website development, refers to the website's ability to handle multiple client requests at the same time. Django projects are very scalable and can handle thousands of requests. You can scale your Django application in the following ways.
Hardware
The Django team designed the web framework to efficiently use the hardware in your system. With a shared-nothing architecture, Django separates components like the database layer (the models) and the application layer (the views). You can add hardware at any level without affecting the rest of the system. You can add more database servers or application servers into your system, and Django will use these resources efficiently to handle multiple visitors.
Caching
Caching is the process of saving some web page data on the client’s server or on intermediary servers so that your Django app can process requests faster, increasing scale. Django offers a robust caching system with different levels of caching:
You can cache your entire website.
You can cache specific view function output.
You can cache specific content that is time consuming to create.
Django projects also work well with third-party caches. You can write code that gives hints about these caches and tells them which part of your application you want to cache.
