Meetup, speakers.

Edvardas Baltūsis:
Serverless web applications with Python on AWS - Did you know that it takes only a couple of minutes to deploy your web application to the Cloud?
Today's mature frameworks allow you to easily reap the benefits of going "serverless".
No dedicated servers running 24/7, pay only for what you use.
In the talk, Edvardas will walk you through the steps required to create a serverless Flask application.

Karolis Ryselis:
Parallel computations today are as important as ever due to the high core counts in recent processors.
Running computations on multiple cores at the same time comes with the increased complexity of the program.
The talk will present the basics of utilizing the numerous cores of the system and how to harness this power using Python with less pain.
You will learn what a process and a thread are, what possibilities they open up, how to use them in Python, and most importantly when to avoid them.
