Server-rendered charts in Django

Too Long; Didn't Read

Say, you’re building a Django-powered web application and you have some data you want to visualize. How do you do it? The most popular option is to pick a front-end charting library, have the back-end send the dataset (either through an API or directly passing it to the template) to the front-end, and render the chart in the browser. This approach allows the front-end to do most of the heavy lifting, thereby reducing the strain on your server.
