Where does this data live?

So we can create new courses in the admin, but what if you wanted to save millions of courses. Would this need to be linked up to a database like postgreSQL?

You can save millions of courses in SQLite3, but the performance in PostgreSQL would be much better.

The data should all be in your database file (db.sqlite3) that is located in your root learning_site directory. Django will create the database file using SQLite unless you configure it to use another database when you run "python manage.py migrate". Here is some database documentation from Django's website.

In database. For this course, it should be sqlite3.
