Back-End Developer Capstone

Meta’s end-to-end capstone for the Back-End Developer track. Built a fully functional restaurant booking API in Django and Django REST Framework — modelled the data, wired up authentication and permissions, exposed the endpoints, connected it all to MySQL, and tested the API the way a real client would consume it.

• Designing the data model and ER diagram for the project
• Implementing models, serializers, and views in Django REST Framework
• Wiring up token-based authentication and per-endpoint permissions
• Filtering, searching, ordering, and paginating list endpoints
• Connecting the Django app to a MySQL database
• Writing automated tests for the API
• Testing endpoints with Insomnia and a sample front-end
• Shipping the final capstone build for peer review
