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.

Rethinking EAI in microservices


With microservices in the picture, with their own set of tools and different requirements, we now have to rethink the approach of EAI in the enterprise infrastructure. So, let's take a look at few of the points that we need to take care of when considering the application integration in microservices-based infrastructures:

  • Planning for expansion: The applications inside the microservices infrastructure are evolving continuously, and their integration needs to be planned in the same manner. While thinking about the integration strategy, we need to make sure that it will be able to support the future scale of our applications and the type of communication that our application may warrant.
  • Defining the APIs: The APIs exposed by the microservices play an important role in the integration of the different applications. Before the development of a microservice is started, its APIs should be planned well and documented, so as to allow for smoother integration with...
