Well it's true that bringing row(s) of data from database to python and then serializing it for any reason as has extra overhead. But in Django's case, the same arguments can be made as for Pandas. Django is a big complex framewor

The expenses (rent, day to day, etc.) are considerably lower in most German cities versus Paris, London or some other hubs. While racism exists in some places, it’s an exaggeration to put it like this. I say this based on my own experience
