How neilravi7/onion-orbit-backend works
Purpose and Scope
This is a minimal Django project scaffold named onion_orbit. No application packages, domain models, templates, API handlers, or README-described behavior are present, so the repository currently defines project bootstrapping and deployment boundaries rather than product functionality.
Process Entry Points
• manage.py is the primary developer and operational entry point for Django management commands such as migrations, local server startup, and administrative tasks.
• onion_orbit/asgi.py exposes the ASGI application callable for asynchronous-capable application servers.
• onion_orbit/wsgi.py exposes the WSGI application callable for conventional synchronous Python web servers.
Project Initialization
The onion_orbit package is the Django project namespace:
• onion_orbit/__init__.py marks the package.
• onion_orbit/settings.py is the central runtime configuration boundary: installed apps, middleware, database, security, static assets, and environment-derived settings would be defined here.
• Both server entry modules initialize Django using this settings module.
Request Routing Boundary
• onion_orbit/urls.py is the root URL configuration and the intended composition point for administrative routes and future application URL modules.
• Incoming HTTP requests reach either onion_orbit/asgi.py or onion_orbit/wsgi.py, enter Django middleware configured in onion_orbit/settings.py, and are dispatched through onion_orbit/urls.py.
• There are currently no repository-visible route consumers or application-level request handlers.
Runtime and Dependency Boundary
• The project targets Python packaging through pyproject.toml.
• Django is the material runtime implied by manage.py, onion_orbit/asgi.py, and onion_orbit/wsgi.py.
• Hosting infrastructure must choose an ASGI or WSGI server and provide runtime configuration expected by onion_orbit/settings.py; no external services, databases, queues, or cloud integrations are visible in the supplied tree.
Extension Points
Future architecture should introduce Django app packages alongside onion_orbit/, each owning domain models, views, routes, and migrations. Root integration should remain concentrated in:
• onion_orbit/settings.py for app registration and shared infrastructure.
• onion_orbit/urls.py for route composition.
• manage.py for lifecycle and operational commands.

onion_orbit/__init__.py - Runtime Settings · Central configuration for apps, middleware, database, security, and static assets.
onion_orbit/settings.py - Django Middleware · Configured request-processing layer.
- Root URL Config · Root dispatch point for administrative and future app routes.
onion_orbit/urls.py
Entry Points
Developer and hosting process entry points.
- Management CLI · Runs migrations, local server startup, and administrative commands.
manage.py - ASGI Callable · Serves Django through ASGI application servers.
onion_orbit/asgi.py - WSGI Callable · Serves Django through conventional WSGI servers.
onion_orbit/wsgi.py
Other components
- Python Packaging · Declares the Python project and Django dependency boundary.
pyproject.toml - Future Django Apps · Domain packages would own models, views, routes, and migrations.
- ASGI Server · Selects the ASGI callable and supplies runtime configuration.
- WSGI Server · Selects the WSGI callable and supplies runtime configuration.
