How can I optimize file handling in Django?

How can I optimize file handling in Django?

You can optimize file handling in Django by using efficient storage backends, compressing files, and managing file uploads properly.

What storage backends do you recommend?

I recommend using Amazon S3 for scalable storage or using Django's built-in FileSystemStorage for local files.

How can I compress files before uploading?

You can use libraries like Pillow for images or Python's built-in zipfile module for other file types to compress files before uploading.

Are there any best practices for managing file uploads?

Yes, always validate file types, limit file sizes, and use asynchronous uploads to improve user experience.
