Software Architecture with Python

Architect and design highly scalable, robust, clean, and highly performant applications in Python About This Book * Identify design issues and make the necessary adjustments to achieve improved performance * Transition seamlessly between software architecture and software design and understand the difference * Gain knowledge of architectural principles and how they can be used to provide traceability and rationale for architectural decisions Who This Book Is For This book is for experienced Python developers who are aspiring to become the architects of enterprise-grade applications or software architects who would like to leverage Python to create effective blueprints of applications. What You Will Learn * Build programs with the right architectural attributes * Use Enterprise Architectural Patterns to solve scalable problems on the Web * Optimize the performance testing tools in Python * Deploy code in remote environments or on the cloud using Python * Develop Micro services with Python * Secure architecture applications in Python In Detail Software architecture or creating a blueprint design for a particular software application is not a walk in the park. The two biggest challenges in software architecture are keeping architecture "in sync" with the requirements as they are uncovered or evolve, and in sync with the implementation as it gets built and evolves. The book starts off by explaining how Python fits into application architecture. Next, you will gain knowledge of architecturally significant requirements and how to determine them. Later, you'll get a complete understanding of the different architectural quality requirements that help an architect to build a product that satisfies business requirements such as Maintainability/Reusability, Testability, Scalability, Performance, Usability, and Security. You will use various techniques such as incorporating DevOps, Continuous Integration, and more to make your application robust. You will understand when and when not to use object-orientation in your applications. You will be able to think into the future and design applications that can scale proportionally to the growing business. The focus is on building the business logic based on the business process documentation, and which frameworks are to be used when. We also cover some important patterns that are to be taken into account while solving design problems, as well as those in relatively new domains such as the cloud. This book will help you understand the ins and outs of Python so that you can make those critical design decisions that not just live up to but surpass the expectations of your clients.
