Hey everyone, I love it when I come up with a design that uses exactly the things I thought were a sign of bad design. In this week's video I show you how to build a clean Python SDK for a REST API. The idea was simple: create a reusable base model that handles all the CRUD operations so you can just write User.find() and user.save(), without duplicating logic all over your codebase. Sounds great, right? Well, after recording the video, I realized something: not all APIs will have all CRUD...

Hey everyone, Python’s flexibility is great, but if you're working on a larger project it becomes hard to make sure not everything depends on everything else. There is a way to avoid that trap, and that's by using abstractions. Unfortunately, I often see production code with way too much coupling that can be easily improved by relying on abstractions. This week’s video shows simple abstractions using Callable, ABC, and Protocol. You’ll learn how to: Reduce unnecessary imports Decouple your...

Hi there, You’ve probably heard that serverless is the easiest way to deploy code to the cloud. And on the surface, it is. With Google Cloud Functions, you can literally deploy a simple Python function like this: def hello(request): return "Hello from Cloud!" A few lines of code. No servers. No infrastructure. But... there are quite a few limitations: No FastAPI or async support One route per function requirements.txt only, no pyproject.toml Cold starts for large dependencies No custom...
