Shell

Django utilizes the shell for managing your site. For this click on the ? in the lower-right corner and click "Workspace shortcuts" from there you can open a new shell pane.

Database

By default this template utilizes the sqlite database engine. While this is fine for development it won't work with external users of your app as we don't persist changes to files when they happen outside the development environment.

We suggest bringing a database using an outside service.

See Django documentation on how to setup a database: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/intro/tutorial02/
