Does Django need a database?

Depends on what you are trying to build though in most cases it will require to set up a database if you want to store the data permanently

Django supports a lighter version of database like SQLlite (out of the box) so it's easy to enable the database functionality

To be honest, one of Django strength is handling database, they have an efficient way of handling it using their own ORM, so if your project does not require any database activity there is no point in using Django it may be overkill for your project

My current side project pulls data from APIs. It doesn't use a database yet since I don't save the pulled data to the database.

Great design :)

Sooner or later it may require a database

Thanks and yeah, I will be learning redis soon for caching and saving the pulled data to the database 😄
