StelutFlix: React + Django + PostgreSQL + AWS

StelutFlix is a small web app I built to explore movies and TV shows using the TMDB API.

The project combines a modern React + Vite frontend with a solid Django REST Framework + PostgreSQL backend, providing both a smooth user experience and a reliable data layer.

Frontend

The client is powered by React 18 and bundled with Vite, ensuring fast builds and a lean development environment. Key dependencies include:

• React Router DOM for navigation.
• React Query for efficient data fetching and caching.
• Ant Design for a clean and responsive UI.
• i18next for internationalization.
• FontAwesome for icons.
• Axios for HTTP requests.

Backend

The backend runs on Django 5.2 with Django REST Framework, and uses PostgreSQL as the main database. Authentication is handled via django-allauth, dj-rest-auth, and JWT (SimpleJWT). Other backend features:

• REST endpoints documented with drf-spectacular.
• Security and access control with django-cors-headers and django-otp.
• Profile picture uploads and file storage on Amazon S3 through django-storages and boto3.
• Deployment using Gunicorn + Uvicorn for production.

Key features

• Search for movies and TV shows via the TMDB API.
• User authentication and profile management.
• Multilanguage support in the interface.
• Direct user image uploads to AWS S3.
