Django Web Application Architecture

About This Architecture

Three-tier Django web application architecture with CDN, WAF, and load balancing for production-grade deployments. User requests flow through a CDN for static assets, then through a Web Application Firewall and load balancer to Django servers where Views process requests, Templates render responses, and Models manage database interactions. This layered approach separates concerns across Presentation, Application, and Data tiers, enabling independent scaling and maintenance of each component. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize load balancer configuration, add caching strategies, or integrate additional middleware. The architecture demonstrates Django best practices for handling concurrent traffic while maintaining security and performance.

How should I structure a Django web application for production with load balancing, security, and caching?

This diagram shows a three-tier Django architecture where user requests flow through a CDN for static assets, then through a WAF and load balancer to Django servers. The Application Layer separates Views (request handlers), Templates (response rendering), and Models (database abstraction), while the Data Layer includes both the Database and Cache for optimized performance and scalability.
