Software Design and Architecture (SWDA) Guild UAE Meetup #1

Kicking off the first meetup for the Software Design and Architecture Guild UAE community!

Who is this for?
👉 It's Software Craftspeople, not just architecture enthusiasts. We screen attendance to experienced practitioners with a proven track record in software design to create an environment that fosters deep technical discussions and knowledge exchange.

👉 This meetup is for you if:

• You're actively implementing and evolving software architectures in production systems
• You have battle-tested patterns and anti-patterns you're willing to share with fellow architects
• You have significant experience in software development, distributed systems, or technical leadership
• You're passionate about creating maintainable, scalable, and elegant software solutions
• You can demonstrate practical experience through either professional work or substantial personal projects that showcase thoughtful architectural decisions (e.g., open-source contributions, system design case studies, or technical blog posts)

Note: Please do not show up if your request to join the group was not accepted.

Session 1: Python: Not for Big Software Projects or Business Logic Applications
Think Python scales for enterprise apps? Think again! This talk explores Python's limitations in large projects—GIL bottlenecks, weak typing, deployment headaches—and when to choose alternatives like Go, Rust, or Java. Join us for insights, real-world case studies, and decision-making frameworks!
Speaker: Mohammed Fazalullah, Developer Advocate/Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
