Migrating billions records from SQL to NoSQL using continuous migration technique with PySpark and DataProc.

Piti Champeethong
Piti Champeethong
The batch mechanism is challenging when handling continuous data migration with DataProc. However, I'm introducing a new approach for continuous data pipelines enabled by PySpark. The participants will learn new methods to handle data consistency and reserve data completeness in a million-scale migration from SQL database into NoSQL, MongoDB.

Sync or async? Feel the magic of coroutines and the event loop in Django

Antonis Kalipetis
Antonis Kalipetis
Struggling with slow I/O in your Django apps? Want to maximize server resources? This talk explores asynchronous Python and its impact on Django. Let's clarify parallel vs. concurrent programming, and demystify Python's concurrency model, focusing on coroutines and the event loop. Learn how asyncio enables efficient, non-blocking code, handling concurrent requests without thread/process overhead and how everything is integrated into the Django framework.

The art of yield

Maxim Danilov
Maxim Danilov
Can you imagine a python project without any return? Is it overhead or memory saving? Is it complicated or would it reduce complexity? Is it testable or a horror for unittesting?

Using Trusted Publishing to Ansible release

Anwesha Das
Anwesha Das
"Trusted publishing" is the term for using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) standard in the Python Ecosystem to release on PyPI. In this talk will go though the usage of trusted publishing in any Python project and how it helped Ansible project to open up release management to the community. This talk is a deep dive explanation of release practicalities of releasing Ansible using trusted publishing.

Let the Robots Test: Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) with Robot Framework

Stefan Kraus
Stefan Kraus
Business specifications are often vague or incomplete, making development challenging. Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) bridges this gap with clear, executable specifications. This talk explores how Robot Framework enhances collaboration between business and development teams. Through practical examples, we’ll show how to write effective tests and extend Robot Framework with custom Python libraries. Gain insights and tools to improve communication, development, and software delivery.

Javier de la Puente
Javier de la Puente
After creating a great web app using Python such as with flask, the next hurdle to production is how to make it available to users and operate it. And not just your app, but also ingress, the database, observability and the list goes on. We will go through your options for simplifying the operations of your web app using open source tooling. This will include using k8s directly with helm charts, PaaS using fly.io and new tooling developed by Canonical using juju. By the end of the talk you will have seen th

Coding Aesthetics: PEP 8, Existing Conventions, and Beyond

Shiva Bhusal
Shiva Bhusal
Coding aesthetics, in this context, refers to how code is written. It is essential that programmers also pay attention to the aesthetics and not just the functionality the code aims to achieve. This talk explores several ways to make Python code aesthetically pleasing, such as code refactoring, using static code analysis tools like PyLint to check compliance with PEP8 guidelines, and applying syntactic sugar. In addition, we will discuss the limitations of PEP8 and how we can make more pragmatic choices.

Inside the Black Box: The Anatomy of Virtual Environments

Daniel Hervás
Daniel Hervás
Virtual environments are a fundamental part of Python development, but to most developers, they’re largely a ‘black box’. In this talk, we’re gonna dissect the code, file structure and utilities that make them up to deeply learn, and not just have superficial knowledge of, how venvs actually work.

Putting Design Patterns In Their Place

Brandon Rhodes
Brandon Rhodes
The modern Python programmer spends little time thinking about the classic ‘design patterns’ from the 1990s. Why? Is it because they are outdated and irrelevant? Or because they are now built into our languages and tools, so we don’t have to worry about them any more? In this talk we will explore the awkward fit of design patterns between the full-blown work of architecture and the small details of actual coding, and rank the old design patterns to see if any are still worthy of attention.
