Maps with Django with Paolo Melchiorre
summary
Builds a working web map end to end: models and admin with GeoDjango, initial SpatiaLite/SQLite database then migrated to PostGIS/PostgreSQL, vector data served as GeoJSON and fetched by the frontend. Uses Leaflet for rendering, GDAL/GEOS system libs, Django REST Framework + its geo addon with bounding‑box filtering so the map loads only visible markers. Result is an interactive map that performs fast when panning, stores geometry in PostGIS, and demos GeoDjango → Leaflet → DRF GIS.
