Are you talking about incoming data? If so you should be sending ISO aware date-time objects as such: 2019-05-12T16:27:34.503919-04:00 If you are talking about outgoing data then you should be saving in the DB aware UTC date-times as python datetime objects. DRF will always do the right thing if you always do the above.
Aware means with the time zone. Naive means without the time zone. Always always always save UTC time, but not all databases let you store the time zone.
