Description:

Learn about the common elements of building big applications, which architecture variables have to be balanced, why they matter and how to achieve that.

This talk comes from our use of Python to build a web application product over the last 15-years at ZeOmega, a healthcare software company based in Bangalore. But the talk is domain-generic and offers solutions above the code level, at the architectural level

  • seek balance between your I/O and CPU
  • distribute your message processing
  • reduce complexity in your request authentication
  • objectify your persistent data
  • design for introspection

I close with a brief summary of how we have leveraged these to build a flexible set of features into our product.

Prerequisites:

No prerequisites as this is a high-level talk about architecture design.

While some of the software mentioned will be new to some attendees, I will carefully explain what it is and how it is useful. I will avoid buzzwords and acronyms.
