February Meetup

Hello Python User Group,

let’s meet again! We have an awesome location and an interesting talk for you. Christian will speak about how to write Python code for production. Hope to see many of you there and thanks to the guys from Sirum/Digital Hub for hosting this event!

How To Write Python Code For Production Environments

Christian Schramm, Sirum GmbH

It is famously easy to get things done in Python – as long as the code is only running on your notebook. Writing code that runs in a production environment, however, offers a surprising amount of opportunities for failure. Most of the times, these failures don’t manifest themselves right away, but gradually deteriorate the code base until we wonder: How did it get that way? Over the years, I encountered a plethora of these opportunities for failure, and took many of them myself – only, of course, so you don’t have to. I will be sharing opinionated best practices on a select range of subjects – like error handling, configuration, state management, object mutability, and parallelism – that will help to make your code production-ready: Robust, maintainable, easy to reason about, and a joy to work with.
