Learning Python, Ninth Edition: Scaling and Operationalizing Cloud-Native Applications

Synopsis

Building upon the interconnected and cloud-ready applications you learned to architect in *Learning Python, Eighth Edition*, this Ninth Edition guides non-technical individuals on the crucial next step: making these systems robust, scalable, and truly production-ready. You've mastered building the components and connecting them; now, learn how to optimize their performance, ensure their reliability, and manage them effectively in a live environment. This book delves into practical strategies for performance tuning Python applications, implementing effective monitoring and logging, exploring advanced deployment patterns, and touching upon continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) concepts to streamline your development workflow. We will also examine techniques for ensuring application resilience and handling potential failures gracefully. By focusing on the operational aspects of distributed systems, *Learning Python, Ninth Edition* empowers you to not only build sophisticated applications but also confidently deploy, scale, and maintain them in real-world cloud environments, solidifying your journey in software development.
