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.

Summary


Throughout the course of this chapter, we learned about why it is important to have an optimized frontend for our enterprise applications, and how a frontend may affect the use of our application inside the enterprise. We then moved on to understand what kind of issues usually plague the performance of web frontends, and what possible solutions we can take to improve the application frontend. This involves reducing the amount of resources that are loaded by the frontend, allowing the CSS to load in parallel, bundling JavaScript, and so on. We then moved on to understand how caching can prove to be useful considering the use case of an enterprise web application. Once we understood the concept of caching, we then moved into the territory of web storage, which allows us to store a large amount of data in the client browser, allowing easy access to the data without making a request to the server again and again.

Now, we are ready to take a look at how to mature the process of our application...
