All Models in One App, Other Apps Added (Less Preferred)

• all models and admin in one app (ex: core app)
• views and serializers are separated in their respective apps

Many Apps with Models in Each App (Less Preferred)

• every time I create a new app I write my models inside of it

Pros

1. Sometimes an app will have generalized purpose and I decide to separate it out into its own standalone app and pip package, so I can reuse it in other projects.

2. It is much easier when a project evolves to the point that you need to implement micro services architecture by separating the project into multiple smaller standalone projects that can communicate with each other.

Ideas:

• split apps by public-facing and private
