This session explores how to design and build scalable, secure, and production-ready FinTech APIs using Django and Django REST Framework. Drawing from real-world experience as a CTO working on financial systems, the talk goes beyond basic tutorials to address the architectural and operational challenges that arise in FinTech environments.

We will walk through how to structure Django applications for high reliability, implement safe transaction handling, and design APIs that can scale under load. The session will also cover best practices for ensuring data integrity, handling concurrency, and avoiding common pitfalls in financial applications.

Attendees will gain practical insights into building backend systems that meet the demands of modern FinTech products, with a focus on performance, maintainability, and security.
