I was a back-end Software Engineer at uMed in 2018.

uMed back-end development

The back end is Python, built on Django and Django REST Framework, with PostgreSQL behind it and Celery and Redis handling work that shouldn’t happen inside a request.

It ran on AWS, deployed with Ansible and Docker, with some of the work moved out to Lambda.

Django and Django REST Framework are still a sensible choice for a back end that is mostly a well-modelled database with an API over it, which is what a lot of products need first.
