July 25th 2024 Meetup Sponsored by New Relic

Event Agenda:
There will be a main talk between 30 minutes to 1 hour followed by optional lighting talks. Pizza will be provided by New Relic.

Main Talk:
Let's Talk Databases in Python: SQLAlchemy and Alembic
What’s an ORM? Is there a way to write database queries so that they are compatible with multiple types of databases? How do you make database changes (such as adding a new table or a new column) safely? What is a connection pool and why is it useful? What are some things that can go wrong when operating at scale? Is lazy loading slowing you down? In this talk we’ll take a deep dive into how the Python libraries SQLAlchemy and Alembic make managing production databases simple, efficient, and painless so you can get back to feature development.

Lightning Talks:
Lightning talks are talks up to 5 minutes in length on any topic that might interest other Python people. See PyCon’s Lightning Talks description for more details.
