Architecture

What can be Improved?

1. We can make use of celery instead of django-crontab
2. We can optimize update database operations in cron job by designing some mechanism to fetch only those movies which don't exists in our system.
3. We can make a separate container for database in order to allow our system to horizontally scale.
4. We can open socket communication with the client, so that whenever a new movie is fetched from Studio Ghibli Server, we can notify our users in near real time.
