15th PyData Lisbon Meetup

Heya everyone,

We're excited to announce the next PyData Lisbon Meetup is happening next week! We're going back to our beautiful venue in Idea Spaces São Sebastião and we're sponsored by our great friends at Noxus. As usual, we'll have two presentations followed by pizza, drinks, and networking. Check the details below 👇

UV Got to Be Kidding: Making Dependency Management Fun Again - Vitor Manita (Loka)
Explore UV, the new Python dependency management tool that's revolutionizing project setups. In this session, we'll cover UV's meteoric rise over the past year, comparing its performance with popular tools like Poetry, and demonstrate how it addresses common developer pain points. Through practical demonstrations, you'll learn how UV optimizes workflow speed and simplifies dependency handling. Whether you're a seasoned Python developer or just getting started, you'll walk away with practical insights and best practices for integrating UV into your projects.

After the Hype, there’s Production: using AI Workflows Agents, and Agentic Workflows - Jorge Pessoa (Noxus)
In the rapidly evolving world of AI, there's a constant barrage of new approaches and techniques, each promising to revolutionize the way we build intelligence. One of the key applications of LLMs is the potential to automate laborious and ever-more complex tasks. With a new wave of agents flooding the conversation, it raises a lot of questions: what are the challenges of deploying these systems in production? How do they compare to established automation structures like workflows? Do workflows have a place in the age of the agent, or are they destined to become legacy systems? This presentation goes beyond the hype and delves into the difficulties of actually shipping AI solutions in at-scale production use cases. We'll explore the pros and cons of agents and AI workflows, when to use them, and offer implementation suggestions and frameworks to consider.
