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.

Chapter 6. Example – Building BugZot

Over the last few chapters, we have discussed numerous techniques that deal with building an enterprise-scale application. But what good is that knowledge if we don't have any idea where to utilize it?

During the course of this chapter, we will walk through the process of building an enterprise-grade web application, which will be used to track bugs reported by various stakeholders of products that are marketed by the Omega Corporation. The system that we will, from now on, call BugZot, aims to provide such functionality.

The application will use various concepts to build the system in a manner that allows it to be scaled easily as the number of users interacting with the system grows. We will see how to utilize the various techniques of optimized data access and storage, highly scalable deployments, and caching, to build an application that performs well, even in high load scenarios.

Over the course of this chapter, we will learn about:

  • Utilizing existing...
