12 Factor for Python

12 Factor for Python
Presented by: Craig Kerstiens (@craigkerstiens)

In recent years there's been rapid growth in application development area. This is in large part due to trends such as better tools to manage code and dependencies, external services to aid you, and due to the elasticity of the cloud. We will walk through some of the recent trends and emerging trends for the future in application development. These trends will make it even easier to scale up without significant overhead, further enable continuous deployment, and improve the ease to onboard other developers into a development team. Many of these current and emerging best practices will be highlighted on Heroku with live demos, but broadly apply outside the Heroku platform.
