What are some performance optimizations I can implement in Django Rest Framework?

What are some performance optimizations I can implement in Django Rest Framework?

You can optimize performance in DRF by using techniques like pagination, select_related, and prefetch_related.

Can you explain how pagination works in DRF?

Pagination in DRF allows you to limit the number of results returned in a single response, improving load times.

What is the difference between select_related and prefetch_related?

select_related is used for single-valued relationships and performs a SQL join, while prefetch_related is for multi-valued relationships and executes separate queries.

Are there any caching strategies I should consider?

Yes, you can use caching strategies like Django's built-in caching framework or third-party solutions like Redis to cache responses.
