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.

Technical requirements


The code listings in this book can be found under chapter13 directory at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Enterprise-Application-Development-with-Python.

The code samples can be cloned by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Enterprise-Application-Development-with-Python

Additionally, for the code to execute successfully, some additional software will be required:

  • Docker: Docker is required as a dependency to run the OpenWhisk software platform for the deployment of the serverless applications. To install docker on your platform, please take a look at https://docs.docker.com/install/.
  • Apache OpenWhisk: Apache OpenWhisk provides an open source platform for running serverless applications. For our examples, we are going to use the OpenWhisk project to provide us with a mechanism for running the code examples. To set up OpenWhisk on the system, please perform the following steps:
  1. Clone the Project installer from GitHub...
