When lock down started last year, I began work on a project I've been thinking about for a while.

It's a PaaS (like Heroku) you can run on your AWS account.

Hey #PyConUS, let’s talk about performance and scaling for Python on the web. Django, FastAPI, or any other framework.

I’m hosting an open space at 3pm in S-3. Hope to see you there.

@evilsocket Always baffles me... what is happening in the background to make this so slow? You'd think this would happen at close to "start a container" speeds. Even spinning up an EC2 instance doesn't take this long.

It's not "rack a new server" timeframe, but feels close sometimes😆

Good morning. It's time to choose violence.

@htmx_org Python has something similar... probably inspired by Java

@simonw @TheAndresRosa Don’t remember where I saw this take, but I like it: Software will be cheaper to produce. Basic economics would say that if the price of a good goes down, demand will go up.

I can definitely see custom software getting built at companies that otherwise couldn’t afford it.

@mitsuhiko AWS has all the services, but cross-service developer experience doesn’t seem like a big priority for them. The additional layer is a necessity unless you want to learn it all from the ground up.

I’ve spent a lot of time in this space with @apppackio if you ever want to chat.

@mitsuhiko You might find https://t.co/tF6WPp5hKQ interesting. I have only played around with it a little, but got solid results.

[Peter Baumgartner @ipmb]

@ericholscher I think about this a lot. Many people come to the conclusion that you shouldn’t sell/retire early, but I think the real lesson is to maintain an identity outside of your work/company.

@thesamparr Alternate perspective: family heirlooms can be a burden. Especially big ones. Is your daughter going to want to lug this thing around as she moves through life? Is she going to feel guilty getting rid of it? Will her kid feel guilty getting rid of it?

[Peter Baumgartner @ipmb]

Well deserved! Congrats @Rachell_Calhoun and thanks for everything you do for the community!
