Architecture

The above picture describes the proposed architecture. Using django server as an http server, django-channels for websockets server, redis as a caching layer, celery for asynchronous tasks.

The above architecture can be modified a little bit to use token based authentication systems by additionally using DjangoRESTFramework(DRF). DRF integrates with Django and help developers create REST api's easily.

Additional Note: This project uses python 2.7. It is advised to use python 3+ and hence have to update Django to version 2.0 and use the latest channels package for websockets.

Please go through the documentations of the technologies used. Django, DjangoRESTFramework, Channels, Redispy, Celery.
