How to use this developer tool

  1. Paste multiple Django files whenever possible.
  2. Select the full, performance, security, DRF, or deployment profile.
  3. Set the target environment.
  4. Run the inspection and review category scores, high-severity findings, and code-level recommendations.

What this developer tool does

The inspector combines framework-specific static rules for settings, ORM usage, DRF permissions, maintainability, and deployment signals.

Project parsing → category rule engine → confidence and severity assignment → category scoring → remediation report

This audit cannot replace manage.py check, django-debug-toolbar, Silk, Bandit, dependency auditing, database profiling, or production observability.

Example

A loop accessing book.author after Book.objects.all() without select_related produces a possible N+1 finding.

Tips for better output

  • Include settings, models, views, serializers, and URLs.
  • Use the production profile before deployment.
  • Verify ORM findings with query profiling.
  • Review DRF permissions and serializer exposure manually.

FAQ

Can it detect N+1 queries?

It identifies common static patterns that may cause N+1 queries, but runtime query profiling is still required.

Does it perform a security audit?

It checks common Django and DRF source patterns, not infrastructure or penetration-testing concerns.

Can it inspect deployment readiness?

Yes. It reviews common settings and configuration signals present in the supplied source.

Does it replace django-debug-toolbar?

No. Runtime profiling tools provide evidence this static inspector cannot obtain.

How are scores calculated?

Category and overall scores are reduced according to the severity of detected static findings.
