EmailVerify

Asynchronous OTP Email Verification System with Django, Celery & Redis

Project Overview

EmailVerify is a Django-based project designed to securely verify user emails via OTP (One-Time Password) codes sent asynchronously using Celery and Redis. The system generates unique OTPs, stores them temporarily, and sends them via email in the background to enhance user experience without blocking the main server process.

This project demonstrates:

• Django REST Framework for building API endpoints.
• Celery task queue for asynchronous processing.
• Redis as a message broker and caching backend.
• JWT authentication integration.
• Modular, clean project architecture.
• Elasticsearch integration for logging user activities on posts.
• Kibana support for visualizing logs.

Features

• Generate and store OTP codes linked to user emails.
• Send OTP emails asynchronously using Celery workers.
• Secure API endpoints for requesting OTP.
• Configurable expiration time for OTP codes.
• Full CRUD operations on posts with owner-based permissions.
• Log all post-related CRUD activities to Elasticsearch for audit and monitoring.
• Docker and docker-compose setup for easy deployment.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Django 5.x
• Celery 5.x
• Redis Server 5+
• Elasticsearch 7.x
• Other Python dependencies (see requirements.txt)
