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


As we moved through this chapter, we took a look at how the serverless architecture is becoming the new trend in the development of the applications, and how this architecture works. We covered the different components of the serverless architecture and went through the concepts of Backend as a Service and Function as a Service, which power the serverless architecture. We then looked at the role of API Gateways in the architecture and how the API Gateway in serverless applications differs from the one we used in Microservices.

After that, we took a tour of building our first serverless application and ran it through Apache OpenWhisk, which provides an open source platform for running serverless applications. Here, we also took a deep dive into how the different components inside the OpenWhisk project work together to get the final results to us.

We concluded the chapter by exploring the different advantages that the move to the serverless application development approach provides us...
