When to create a new Django app and when not to?

Now, this is a toy project, I understand that it is good to divide an API into apps.

No, it is not always a good idea.

This is a topic that has been discussed multiple times previously.

For starters, see:

• Why do we need apps?
• Project organization- when is something a separate app?
• I need help with what should be an app and what shouldn't
• Structuring external service integrations in Django

(There are others, but most threads end up at some point referencing one of these.)

@UsamaHussain8

when is creating an app actually essential and when is it just an overkill (and possibly over-engineering)?
