July 31, 2022 Tobias Macey Comments Off on The Benefits Of Python And Django For Going From Zero To MVP At Speed - Episode 373

Every startup begins with an idea, but that won't get you very far without testing the feasibility of that idea. A common practice is to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that addresses the problem that you are trying to solve and working with early customers as they engage with that MVP. In this episode Tony Pavlovych shares his thoughts on Python's strengths when building and launching that MVP and some of the potential pitfalls that businesses can run into on that path.

Gain A Deeper Understanding Of What Your Code Is Doing And Where It Spends Its Time With VizTracer - Episode 371

July 17, 2022 Tobias Macey Comments Off on Gain A Deeper Understanding Of What Your Code Is Doing And Where It Spends Its Time With VizTracer - Episode 371

As your code scales beyond a trivial level of complexity and sophistication it becomes difficult or impossible to know everything that it is doing. The flow of logic and data through your software and which parts are taking the most time are impossible to understand without help from your tools. VizTracer is the tool that you will turn to when you need to know all of the execution paths that are being exercised and which of those paths are the most expensive. In this episode Tian Gao explains why he created VizTracer and how you can use it to gain a deeper familiarity with the code that you are responsible for maintaining.

Stream Processing In Real Time And At Scale In Pure Python With Bytewax - Episode 370

July 10, 2022 Tobias Macey Comments Off on Stream Processing In Real Time And At Scale In Pure Python With Bytewax - Episode 370

Analysis of streaming data in real time has long been the domain of big data frameworks, predominantly written in Java. In order to take advantage of those capabilities from Python requires using client libraries that suffer from impedance mis-matches that make the work harder than necessary. Bytewax is a new open source platform for writing stream processing applications in pure Python that don't have to be translated into foreign idioms. In this episode Bytewax founder Zander Matheson explains how the system works and how to get started with it today.

Tetra: A Full Stack Web Framework That Doesn't Make You Write Everything Twice - Episode 369

July 3, 2022 Tobias Macey Comments Off on Tetra: A Full Stack Web Framework That Doesn't Make You Write Everything Twice - Episode 369

Building a fully functional web application has been growing in complexity along with the growing popularity of javascript UI frameworks such as React, Vue, Angular, etc. Users have grown to expect interactive experiences with dynamic page updates, which leads to duplicated business logic and complex API contracts between the server-side application and the Javascript front-end. To reduce the friction involved in writing and maintaining a full application Sam Willis created Tetra, a framework built on top of Django that embeds the Javascript logic into the Python context where it is used. In this episode he explains his design goals for the project, how it has helped him build applications more rapidly, and how you can start using it to...
