yea you will need to create a production build, so in this directory /Users/senthil/throw-aways/Django-API-Server-with-React-Example/frontend/ run

npm run build

then backup a directory to the Django-API-Server-with-React-Example directory and run

python3 -m manage.py collectstatic

then start the server:

python3 -m manage.py runserver
