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.

The introduction of the ESB


As the times moved forward, enterprises shifted to a new model of application development. This model used to model the applications as a service, where each service used to provide a certain set of business capabilities. So, for example, in an enterprise there will be a payroll service, which will provide all of the necessary functionality related to the management of the employee payroll, such as handling the data for the new employees, keeping a record of how much salary they have got and generating the monthly payslips.

Now, these services needed to be integrated with each other so that the exchange of data between these services could be facilitated. At this point in time, the enterprises needed something that would allow these services to communicate with each other over the network without the bottleneck of handling the different data formats that each service maintains.

The solution to this came in the form of the introduction of the ESB. The ESB model of...
