Backend - 1: Setup backend development environment and create a new (basic) module

Objectives

• provide a sample (autonomous) development tools setup (venv, pycharm, MSQ-SQL in docker,…)

• get up and running and create a new module, connected to the database (new model, with django migration,….)

• exposing the entities for GraphQL queries and mutations
