What we’re about
The PyTexas Meetup is a virtual Meetup serving the Python Community of Texas. With Texas being so big and spread out, it's hard to find a meetup in your local area. The PyTexas Meetup will be a monthly virtual event, with a physical gathering happening at the annual PyTexas conference in the spring.
All members who attend the meetup are expected to follow our Code of Conduct

Topic: Events are the Wrong AbstractionModern software applications are distributed systems. Applications need to connect and communicate with services, data repositories, users, etc., all over a network. Event-Driven Architecture is a common pattern for facilitating this connectivity, using Events as the communication abstraction. However, this pattern introduces complexities as well, such as fragmented logic, increased latency, decreased observability, and more. But what if there were a way to get the benefits of Event-Driven Architecture without the complexities? Enter Durable Execution. In this talk, we'll discuss the pitfalls of Event-Driven Architecture, how Durable Execution solves these issues, and why Durable Execution, not Events, is the correct abstraction for building software.
