#352: Running Python in Production

Do we talk about running Python in production enough? I can tell you that the Talk Python infrastructure (courses, podcasts, APIs, etc.) get a fair amount of traffic, but they look nothing like what Google, or Instagram, or insert [BIG TECH NAME] here's deployments do. Yet, mostly, we hear about interesting feats of engineering at massive scale that is impressive but often is also outside of the world most Python devs need for their companies and services.

I have three great guests who do think we should talk more about small to medium-sized Python deployments: Emily Moorehouse, Hynek, and Glyph.

I think you'll enjoy the conversation. They each bring their own interesting perspectives.
