Description

We should have the option to ask users if they want to use channels, just like we do with celery. Setting up channels should be easy, using the in memory layer locally and redis on production (or redis on both). Not much has to be assumed and is easy to implement.

Thoughts?

Research direction
Review the existing celery integration in the cookiecutter django template to understand the pattern for optional features. This issue discusses adding a similar prompt for Django Channels. The implementation should allow choosing between in memory and Redis backends, with default local in memory and production Redis. Check the comments for additional requirements and potential pitfalls.
