Can i use buildbot for the server part and integrate it with frontend suite
?
I tested buildbot on postorius by deploying it on aws and the tests that do
not require selenium webdriver are working fine.

Why not do both?  I think that you should be able to separate the
"business logic" from the UI elements.

Then use the "if __name__ == '__main__':" technique to implement the
CLI, and import the module into the optional Django front end.
