Hands-On Enterprise Application Development with Python

By: Saurabh Badhwar

Overview of this book

Dynamically typed languages like Python are continuously improving. With the addition of exciting new features and a wide selection of modern libraries and frameworks, Python has emerged as an ideal language for developing enterprise applications. Hands-On Enterprise Application Development with Python will show you how to build effective applications that are stable, secure, and easily scalable. The book is a detailed guide to building an end-to-end enterprise-grade application in Python. You will learn how to effectively implement Python features and design patterns that will positively impact your application lifecycle. The book also covers advanced concurrency techniques that will help you build a RESTful application with an optimized frontend. Given that security and stability are the foundation for an enterprise application, you’ll be trained on effective testing, performance analysis, and security practices, and understand how to embed them in your codebase during the initial phase. You’ll also be guided in how to move on from a monolithic architecture to one that is service oriented, leveraging microservices and serverless deployment techniques. By the end of the book, you will have become proficient at building efficient enterprise applications in Python.

Summary


In this chapter, we took a look at how we can work with the microservices architecture and how it differs from the traditional monolithic way of developing enterprise applications. We then took a look at the advantages that come as we move toward the microservice development approach and learned about the guidelines that we can follow to make our journey toward microservices smoother.

Once we had an idea about the basics of microservices, we went on to take a look at how SLAs guarantee us a certain desired set of functionalities between the services and how they act as a contract so as to support a smooth service by the application. We then moved on to a hands-on exercise by writing a simple to-do list management application utilizing microservices.

Once we completed the development of our sample application, we looked at how the manual way of maintaining configuration files to discover services may not work with a microservices architecture, so we took a deep dive into the topics...
