To implement pagination between a Django server and a React frontend, you can use Django's built-in pagination functionality and the Paginator class. Here's a high-level overview of the steps you can take:

Server-Side (Django):
    Use the Paginator class to split the data into pages on the server-side[3](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/pagination/)
    .
    Pass the paginated data to the frontend.
Client-Side (React):
    Display a certain number of items per page on the frontend.
    Implement "search" and "filter" functionalities on the frontend without fetching the entire dataset.

By following this approach, you can efficiently manage and display large datasets without sending the entire 2000-item dataset to the frontend at once. This architectural decision helps improve the user experience by reducing the amount of data transferred and ensuring that only relevant data is displayed. For detailed implementation, you can refer to the following resources:

Real Python's tutorial on "Pagination for a User-Friendly Django App"[1](https://realpython.com/django-pagination/)
.
The official Django documentation on "Pagination"[3](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/pagination/)
.
A guide on "How to add Pagination in Django Project" by GeeksforGeeks[4](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-add-pagination-in-django-project/)
.
An article on "Pagination in Django" by TestDriven.io[5](https://testdriven.io/blog/django-pagination/)
.

These resources provide step-by-step instructions and examples for implementing pagination in a Django project, which can be beneficial for your specific use case.
