Greetings, colleagues! A few weeks ago, the 27th Moscow Django Meetup took place, and in just three days, this Wednesday, the 28th . In this topic I will tell you what was interesting on the previous mitap and what will happen next. Participation is free, the Friya City Hall site in the center of Moscow is waiting for you!

Load testing of the dating service: here and now

')
So, at the last mitap, we gathered three speakers and about a hundred listeners. The first was Alexey Strelkov. Alexey develops the dating service and talks about his practical experience in creating load tests. The report is very valuable because Alexei made these tests quite recently, so you can not get acquainted with the layering “it happened so historically”, but with the actual tools of complex load testing with scenes, complex user interaction and Python. Video and slides are attached:

What happens if you cut off all unnecessary from Django?

Django as a web framework is based on the principle of “configuration over convention” - the work of all its parts is configured in the code, so that even a minimal application consists of several files and many lines of code. This has both its advantages and disadvantages - even the simplest Django applications are difficult to maintain without first getting acquainted with the framework documentation. In his speech, Dmitry Kryukov from Parallels tells how to simplify the Django project to the flask level: one file and several lines of code. The purpose of this study is not some practical application, but a way to better understand how Django is arranged inside and how the flexibility of projects is balanced with the amount of code. Video and slides:

Stackoverflow has a Russian evangelist!

The evangelist of Russian stackoverflow (in fact, a regional manager, but in this case it’s the same thing) rushed from Peter and immediately began to tell interesting insights about how stackoverflow was created and why, who and why moderate it, how to put the question right and many other things. Nicholas report and slides:

Next conference

Usually we are limited to two speakers at an event (in order to save more time for aftapati). But the following Moscow Django will again offer you three interesting stories, two of which will be told by the guys from Rambler.

• Artem Bezukladichny will talk about different ways to implement the REST API in Django
• Maxim Shalamov from Rambler will tell about the automatic generation of “literary” texts for descriptions of hundreds of thousands of objects.
• Julia Selyutina, also from Rambler, will tell you about Python bytecode and why some operations are faster than others.

Come, it will be interesting! Registration is here , beginning at 19:00, June 24 at the address: 29 Serebryanicheskaya Embankment, Moscow
