This project is divided into three layers of presentation (Template), persistence (Model), and actions or rules (View) is a common pattern. Model-view-template (MVT) is a way of modeling data for persistence, providing users with a view into that data, and allowing them to control changes to that data with some set of actions.
- The app runs in only one instance which is set by '--noreload flag'. It keeps Django from starting up a second instance which is the default behavior in debug mode. A second instance would mean all scheduled tasks would fire twice.
- The app reads data from a local file to stimulate actual data due to the restriction placed on host country on twitter. The fetch_tweet_csv function can easily be modified to fetch real time data from twitter easily
