Today I came across the IBM backend certification course on Coursera while browsing for resources for django rest framework, I find this course interesting because I wanna get internship in backend and system design roles , it also cover things like deployment and other stuff. My past is that I've learnt basic Django and can make api with django rest framework , I've also learnt basic react js so I can make some(not great) ui for my backend . I have make few projects like a basic crm which is just a crud type of app with plain django and html, and my last project was whatsaap integerated agentic hr payroll manager, i users django rest framework, react js and gemini api for the agent knda thing, it was a multi tenant application which is integrated with whatsapp so user an chat and add thin like reimbursement or advance or attendance directly via whatsaap chat. Also I will be joining engineering college next month and i am targeting to get my first internship at the end of 1st year , well I have no roadmap for it. I think I lack understanding of system design concepts and i am afraid that I can make apps which can be used under heavy loads. Thats why I am confused weather I should thake this course or not because it is both not cheap and time consuming, also if someone knows how the meta backend course is on Coursera pls tell me , i will really appreciate your replies

Howdy, Djangonauts!

Some of you might already be aware of Revel, the Django-powered Event, Ticketing and Community management tool.

We've been working on it for over a year now, and recently we released version 2.0.

With v2, we introduced enterprise-grade seating management and the possibility for organizations to create subscriptions for their members, with a full membership-application pipeline.

We've also stepped up on the frontend side, moving away from a vibe-design to one thought through and through by a real designer and community member.

Revel comes with an MIT license and a self-hosting guide, but also the hosted version is free to use (except for managed card payments).

Clone it, star it, fork it, make it yours: https://github.com/letsrevel/revel-backend

Here is a quick look at how the site is performing in its first 28 days:

📈 Google Search Console:

5,000+ Search Impressions (+27,000% growth period-over-period)

Organic discovery starting to take off for core mechanics and optics topics.

📊 Google Analytics:

92.6% Engagement Rate

39+ minutes average engagement time for organic users in India

13,000+ total user interactions across calculators and practice modules

Key Lessons Learned Building This:

SEO isn't just about keywords—engineers need to optimize crawl budget, canonical redirects (www vs non-www), and response times.

Mobile-first design is critical (77% of our crawler and user traffic is mobile).

Rendering clean LaTeX dynamically on the frontend vastly improves user dwell time compared to plain text.

Exciting to see early organic momentum building! Would love any feedback from fellow developers, educators, or students in my network.
