Overview

An example DJango 5.0 service (DRF with tests) using postgresql that can also be run with gunicorn.

WARNING - This IS NOT intended to be an actual useful user service, it's just an example service using a model that could be easily understood.

This is an extremely basic Django service using DRF to serve a simple user record. Its main purpose is just for experimenting with Django and DRF, with a special emphasis on using gunicorn and having other systems call this service.
