About

I built a fully-functioning Blog REST API built using Django and the Django REST framework. It is hosted on an AWS EC2 instance and can be accessed here. I do not keep it available at all times, however, due to the limitations of the AWS free-tier plan. The static API documenation version is always avalaible though, with the link below.

Features

  • Swagger Docs API documentation
  • JSON Web Token (JWT) for authentication
  • Nginx as a reverse proxy
  • Redis for caching
  • Throttling to prevent abuse
  • Free SSL certificates using Certbot (for HTTPS)
  • Comprehensive unit tests
