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.

The problems of accommodating increased concurrency


Over the years, in the time the internet has been around, one of the most common problems that web application architects have commonly faced is how to deal with the increasing concurrency. As more and more users are coming online and utilizing web applications, there is a huge need to scale up infrastructures to manage all these requests.

This stands true even for our enterprise web applications. Even though we can make an estimate of how many users could be concurrently accessing these web applications inside an enterprise, there is no hard and fast rule that will be true for the time to come. As the enterprise grows, the number of clients accessing the application will also increase, putting more stress upon the infrastructure and increasing the need to scale it out. But what options do we have, while trying to scale out the application to accommodate the increasing number of clients? Let's take a look.

The multiple options to scale up...
