Enterprise‑grade social platform with microblog, Q&A, and chat
Bootcamp delivers an enterprise‑grade social platform with microblog, collaborative articles, Q&A, and chat, built on Django, PostgreSQL, and Docker for easy deployment.
Bootcamp is a Django‑based social platform designed for enterprises and development teams that need an integrated internal communication hub. It combines four core applications—News for micro‑blogging, Articles for collaborative publishing, Question & Answers for knowledge sharing, and Messenger for asynchronous chat—under a single, cohesive codebase.
The system leverages PostgreSQL for reliable data storage and Redis with Django‑Channels to provide real‑time features such as live chat and notifications. Front‑end components are styled with Bootstrap 4 and powered by jQuery, while Docker and docker‑compose scripts simplify local development and production deployment. Optional Heroku support is documented through the Cookiecutter‑Django guidelines.
Bootcamp ships with ready‑to‑use Docker configurations and Heroku deployment instructions, allowing teams to launch quickly on their preferred infrastructure. Released under the MIT license, the project can be freely customized, extended, or integrated with existing services like Sentry for error monitoring and Mailgun for email handling.
When teams consider Bootcamp, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
