Developing a culture to write reliable and performant services at scale

Python is a programming language known for its usefulness and ease of readability, making it an excellent choice for quickly creating services. These services can be scaled to millions of users. However, a myriad of problems comes hidden with it during the development phase if observ ability driven development is not followed like the inability to meet the SLAs, poor performance, difficulty in tracking business metrics, etc and this can lead to anti patterns in software. Metrics such as these can be valuable for root cause analysis, driving business goals, component level monitoring, improving performance, and so on. In this presentation, I will discuss how to adhere to best practices for observ ability and reliability when building a Python service from the ground up. I will explain the meaning of each concept, how to establish a culture that promotes these practices and provide a detailed code walk through demonstrating how to implement these concepts effectively.

GraphQL in Python

Over the past few years, GraphQL has gained much traction, especially in the JavaScript world. Python is getting onboard this trend with new interesting libraries. In this talk, we will see how Strawberry makes uses of data classes and type hints to easily create Graph QL APIs.

There’s going to be a recap of the current GraphQL libraries available for Python, what are pro and cons and which one is the best for Django. Then there’s going to be a deep dive of Strawberry, a new GraphQL library that makes uses of data classes and type hints.

When gRPC met Python

What if we can have a tool that helps us to do intelligent load balancing or What if we can do selective compression of the data and extremely fast and light weight transfer of data? Then let me introduce gRPC, the technology that helps us to do all of this and how can we integrate gRPC with Python. gRPC is one of the most new breakthroughs in the world of client server interaction. Using gRPC our client can directly make a call to a server on a different machine as ifit were a local object. gRPC has low latency, high scalability and supports multiple use cases for distributed system. We can even build mobile clients which can communicate to a cloud server. gRPC uses Protocol Buffers which is an opensource mechanism for serialising structured data, which makes payloads faster, smaller and simpler. In this talk we willtry to understand how can we get started with gRPC in Python. grpcio package of python will be used for the demonstration of the examples and we will cover basics of gRPC as well. We will build a basic gRPC service and define protocol buffers for it. Demonstration of how a client and a server can be made through gRPC and how can they communicate.

Event Driven Architectures with Python Solving complexity at scale

Event driven architectures (EDAs) and A sync API are being hyped at the moment as the new big thing after REST/Open API and GraphQL. Indeed, EDAs target a real need in today''s application landscape, as systems grow more complex or need to scale both vertically and horizontally. Python can help build such architectures by leveraging existing event bus/queue systems or by providing the needed a sync interfaces directly. The talk will introduce the architecture and terminology around it, such as A sync API, as well as provide insights into different components which can be managed, connected and implemented with Python. It is also meant to spark some more interest in getting Python into a more prominent position within the A sync API community, where Node and Java still dominate.

Await for it: mixing async and blocking code

You''ve heard async is great, it can improve concurrency performance, but you might have heard that you need to use only async code and use only async compatible libraries... but the good news is, that''s not entirely true. So, how can you take advantage of these new a sync features in your current projects that already use blocking code and require some blocking libraries? In this talk, I''ll show you the basics of writing concurrent a sync code, and how to properly mix it with regular code without affecting performance (without blocking the event loop) by using thread workers underneath. All done in a simple and convenient way using modern libraries.

Idiomatic Python: How to Sort Anything

Python''s "sorted"builtin seems simple. But it can be used to sort just about anything. In this talk, I''ll show you:

• How to customize "sorted" by passing "key" functions
• How and when to use lambda and operator for more complex sorts
• How to make your own classes sortable

By the end of this talk, you''ll know how to sort using idiomatic, efficient Python.
