swagger.io

If you are working with Django REST framework, it's a good idea to keep your API documented even if you are not exposing it to the public. One great tool is Swagger and you can generate the Swagger schema automatically for your DRF project by using drf-yasg. Very easy to setup and the schema will be generated from your urls.py files. You can also choose between two different looks.

Sentry.io

In development, when your debug mode is on, you can just go through the very helpful debug messages that Django helps you with. But it's not the same in production. You should definitely setup logs in your Django projects but additionally, a third party tool like Sentry can save you a ton of time and hassle. The setup process can't be simpler, you just sign up and add a few lines to the Django settings file and that's it!
