Django Stars uses a range of innovative technologies to support startup development and build scalable, future-ready products. Our team selects tools based on product goals, technical complexity, and long-term growth needs rather than trends alone. Core technologies and approaches include:

• Modern frameworks and languages — such as Django and Python for backend development, along with React, Flutter, and Node.js for building responsive web and mobile applications.
• Cloud platforms — like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to support scalable infrastructure, flexible deployment, and reliable performance from early-stage products to growing platforms.
• AI/ML solutions — to help startups implement intelligent features such as data-driven recommendations, automation, and predictive analytics where they add real business value.
• IoT integration — for products that require connectivity between software systems and physical devices, supporting data collection and real-time processing.
• Advanced analytics — to help startups gain insights into user behavior, system performance, and product usage, supporting informed product and business decisions.

The cost of developing software for a startup with Django Stars typically depends on product scope, technical complexity, team composition, and delivery timeline. Based on common startup scenarios, the following ranges are usually applied:

• MVP development: from $40,000 to $80,000 — This usually covers core features, basic UI/UX design, backend and frontend development, and initial testing over 3–5 months.
• Early-stage product development: from $80,000 to $150,000 — Suitable for startups moving beyond MVP, including extended functionality, integrations, improved UX/UI, and more robust infrastructure.
• Scalable startup platforms: $150,000+ — Larger products with complex business logic, high scalability requirements, advanced security, or integrations with third-party systems.
• Hourly rates for startup projects typically range from $50 to $80 per hour, depending on the role (developer, designer, QA, or architect) and engagement model

Our experience spans FinTech, PropTech, TravelTech, and Logistics, delivering software development solutions for startups across these industries.
