Python May Meetup: Building a Django scalable system & Intro to PyScript

This month we have two awesome sessions on Django & PyScript:

• ➡️ What: From zero to hero: building a scalable system from scratch using Django
• 📢 Who: Samuel Parra
• ⏱ Duration: ~30 minutes
• 👅 Language: English

🧐 Abstract: Mundimoto is the intersection between two models: modern startups and traditional companies. It has grown 25x its operations in the last year, taking an undisputed lead in the used motorbike industry in Europe. We’re not going to stop here; we’re expanding our factories internationally, this April we already opened Milan (Italy), we’re planning eight more countries in Europe, and we want to have a part in the future of mobility, doing way more than buying and selling motorbikes. To support all these challenges, we know software and talent are essential. We have a diverse team coming from Facebook, Snapchat, Glovo, Skyscanner, Typeform, Wallapop and many others. Our use cases are unique, and we see the company’s future depends on having software built specifically for us and by us. With so many moving pieces, the only way to achieve our goals is with high-quality software, data science being at the core of the system decisions, and clever UI/UX designs to support our use cases. In this talk we are going to speak about an essential part of our architecture that is how we design, test and deploy our services into production.

ℹ️ Speaker info: Samuel is part of the foundational team of Mundimoto. With a background on Python QA automation and BDD testing, he transitioned to a full-stack software engineering role during his Skyscanner days and after some years working on JS, React and Java, he’s back to his Python roots and has helped develop the core of Mundimoto’s backend services and APIs.
