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 7. Building Optimized Frontends

We have come quite far in this book while trying to understand how to build applications for enterprises in Python. The chapters we've covered so far consisted of how to build a scalable and responsive backend for our enterprise application that can cater for a large number of concurrent users, so that our enterprise application is a success with its users. However, there is one topic we have been missing and which usually gets very little attention when building enterprise level applications: the application frontend.

When a user interacts with our application, they are hardly concerned with what is going on in the backend. The experience of the user is directly connected with how the frontend of the application responds to their inputs. This makes the application frontend not only one of the most important aspects of the application, but also makes it one of the major deciding factors for the success of the application among its users.
