Developing a secure, production-grade CMS for a Fitness centric Startup

The world today is driving towards connections via the internet rather than social interaction. Hence modern- day businesses have a compelling need to update themselves and make their brand heard across the world. One of the most popular and recognized approaches is to develop a web application which acts as the face of their company over the Internet. This paper presents the development of a Content Management System designed for a start-up that provides fitness sessions to people across the world. The CMS comprises various modules such as user management, individual sessions handling, group sessions handling, course management along with functions including multi-currency and multi-time zone support, telecommunication interfacing, notification system and payment gateway integration. This paper also discusses on the security and caching mechanisms used to improve the security and the scalability of the proposed CMS. The application is designed to overcome the geographical barrier by handling currencies and timezones based on the locality of the user and incorporates a reliable payment and business communication platform. The technological stack includes Dynamic HTML for frontend, Django framework for backend, PostgreSQL and Redis for database management along with Celery task queues, deployed using Docker.
