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


Over the course of this chapter, we got to learn about how the move to microservices architecture affects the processes inside our application development life cycle. We got to learn about how the testing inside microservices-based applications differ from that of the Monolithic applications, and what kind of testing phases are usually required when dealing with the microservices architecture. We then learned about the challenges that arise in the testing phases, due to the move toward a microservices-based approach, and how we can overcome them.

The second part of this chapter took us through the journey of distributed tracing inside the application, where we did a hands-on to enable us to trace the flow of requests in the ToDo manager application we developed in the previous chapter. During this, we got to learn about how the tracing works, and how distributed tracing differs from the normal methods of tracing. We also learned about how the OpenTracing standard is helping provide...
