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.

Deploying enterprise applications


Over the course of this book, we have seen how to develop an enterprise application using different principles, be it a monolithic way of application development or through the use of small microservices for developing the application. But these things converge at a common point. For our applications to be made available for general use, they need to be deployed at some place outside the development environment that is accessible to the general users.

This infrastructure and the type of deployment chosen for a particular application need to offer a certain set of features for the deployment to be successful:

  • High uptime: Any infrastructure where an application is deployed needs to provide high uptime so as to provide a near interruption free service of the application to its users. If the infrastructure is vulnerable to frequent downtimes, then it might cause severe downtimes in the availability of the application, and can cause the processes that are dependent...
