About the event

Join us on Tuesday, April 21, for an evening focused on the realities of operating Python at scale. We're bringing together developers and engineering leads from Applifting, ROUVY, and DX Heroes to share hard-won lessons on everything from clean architecture to distributed systems

Let's meet in the Applifting meetup space, both in person and online. We’ll start at 18:00.

Who’s speaking?

We will kick off with two lightning talks. First, Ondřej Doskočil, Python tech lead at Applifting, will challenge the mindset that clean architecture is "too Java" for Python and show how AI tools can help you adopt proper structure as your projects scale.

Stanislav Gurník, backend chapter lead at ROUVY, will follow up with hard-won lessons from the trenches of distributed systems, exploring what it takes to move event-driven Python services from "it works" to "it scales".

Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by Jiří Maňák, software engineering team lead at DX Heroes, and Martin Jiřík, senior DevOps engineer at ROUVY.
