📝 About the repository

This project started as a playground for Django REST Framework and caching experiments.

It's not a perfect codebase, but...

• You can clone it and try out how caching works in practice.
• Explore how the project is structured.
• Use the existing endpoints to test different query param behavior.

🚀 Main Endpoint

Get filtered list of posts:

GET /api/v1/posts/?category=environment&page=1&is_exploded=false&sort=likes

Query Parameters:

• category: filter by category
• page: pagination (integer)
• is_exploded: boolean flag
• sort: sorting method (created_at, -created_at, likes, -likes)

🧠 Caching Scheme

The caching layer is used to store pre-rendered responses based on query params. Cache keys are built dynamically from URL parameters.
