    Abstract: Discover how to inject your code with highly performant Rust features to develop fast and memory-safe applications Key Features Learn to implement Rust in a Python system without altering the entire system Write safe and efficient Rust code as a Python developer by understanding the essential features of Rust Build Python extensions in Rust by using Python NumPy modules in your Rust code Book Description Python has made software development easier, but it falls short in several areas including memory management that lead to poor performance and security. Rust, on the other hand, provides memory safety without using a garbage collector, which means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performant and secure apps relatively easily. However, rewriting everything in Rust can be expensive and risky as there might not be package support in Rust for the problem being solved. This is where Python bindings and pip come in. This book will help you, as a Python developer, to start using Rust in your Python projects without having to manage a separate Rust server or application. Seeing as you'll already understand concepts like functions and loops, this book covers the quirks of Rust such as memory management to code Rust in a productive and structured manner. You'll explore the PyO3 crate to fuse Rust code with Python, learn how to package your fused Rust code in a pip package, and then deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that uses a private Rust pip module. Finally, you'll get to grips with advanced Rust binding topics such as inspecting Python objects and modules in Rust. By the end of this Rust book, you'll be able to develop safe and high-performant applications with better concurrency support. What you will learn Explore the quirks of the Rust programming language that a Python developer needs to understand to code in Rust Understand the trade-offs for multiprocessing and thread safety to write concurrent code Build and manage a software project with cargo and crates Fuse Rust code with Python so that Python can import and run Rust code Deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that utilizes a private Rust pip module Inspect and create your own Python objects in Rust Who this book is for This book is for Python developers who want to speed up their Python code with Rust and implement Rust in a Python system without altering the entire system.

    Abstract: Make the best of your test suites by using cutting-edge software architecture patterns in Python Key Features Learn how to create scalable and maintainable applications Build a web system for micro messaging using concepts in the book Use profiling to find bottlenecks and improve the speed of the system Book Description Developing large-scale systems that continuously grow in scale and complexity requires a thorough understanding of how software projects should be implemented. Software developers, architects, and technical management teams rely on high-level software design patterns such as microservices architecture, event-driven architecture, and the strategic patterns prescribed by domain-driven design (DDD) to make their work easier. This book covers these proven architecture design patterns with a forward-looking approach to help Python developers manage application complexity—and get the most value out of their test suites. Starting with the initial stages of design, you will learn about the main blocks and mental flow to use at the start of a project. The book covers various architectural patterns like microservices, web services, and event-driven structures and how to choose the one best suited to your project. Establishing a foundation of required concepts, you will progress into development, debugging, and testing to produce high-quality code that is ready for deployment. You will learn about ongoing operations on how to continue the task after the system is deployed to end users, as the software development lifecycle is never finished. By the end of this Python book, you will have developed "architectural thinking": a different way of approaching software design, including making changes to ongoing systems. What you will learn Think like an architect, analyzing software architecture patterns Explore API design, data storage, and data representation methods Investigate the nuances of common architectural structures Utilize and interoperate elements of patterns such as microservices Implement test-driven development to perform quality code testing Recognize chunks of code that can be restructured as packages Maintain backward compatibility and deploy iterative changes Who this book is for This book will help software developers and architects understand the structure of large complex systems and adopt architectural patterns that are scalable.

    Abstract: Get up to speed with using Mermaid diagrams to facilitate a seamless development workflow with the help of real-world examples and expert tips from the creators of the tool Key Features Learn how to use and customize the different diagram types in Mermaid Discover examples of how to add Mermaid to a documentation system Use Mermaid with various tools available such as editors, wiki, and more Book Description Mermaid is a JavaScript-based charting and diagramming tool that lets you represent diagrams using text and code, which simplifies the maintenance of complex diagrams. This is a great option for developers as they're more familiar with code, rather than using special tools for generating diagrams. Besides, diagrams in code simplify maintenance and ensure that the code is supported by version control systems. In some cases, Mermaid makes refactoring support for name changes possible while also enabling team collaboration for review distribution and updates. Developers working with any system will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide to using Mermaid for documentation. The book is also a great reference for looking up the syntax for specific diagrams when authoring diagrams. You'll start by learning the importance of accurate and visual documentation.

    Abstract: Get to grips with various performance improvement techniques such as concurrency, lock-free programming, atomic operations, parallelism, and memory management Key Features Understand the limitations of modern CPUs and their performance impact Find out how you can avoid writing inefficient code and get the best optimizations from the compiler Learn the tradeoffs and costs of writing high-performance programs Book Description The great free lunch of "performance taking care of itself" is over. Until recently, programs got faster by themselves as CPUs were upgraded, but that doesn't happen anymore. The clock frequency of new processors has almost peaked. New architectures provide small improvements to existing programs, but this only helps slightly. Processors do get larger and more powerful, but most of this new power is consumed by the increased number of processing cores and other "extra" computing units. To write efficient software, you now have to know how to program by making good use of the available computing resources, and this book will teach you how to do that. The book covers all the major aspects of writing efficient programs, such as using CPU resources and memory efficiently, avoiding unnecessary computations, measuring performance, and how to put concurrency and multithreading to good use. You'll also learn about compiler optimizations and how to use the programming language (C++) more efficiently. Finally, you'll understand how design decisions impact performance. By the end of this book, you'll not only have enough knowledge of processors and compilers to write efficient programs, but you'll also be able to understand which techniques to use and what to measure while improving performance. At its core, this book is about learning how to learn. What you will learn Discover how to use the hardware computing resources in your programs effectively Understand the relationship between memory order and memory barriers Familiarize yourself with the performance implications of different data structures and organizations Assess the performance impact of concurrent memory accessed and how to minimize it Discover when to use and when not to use lock-free programming techniques Explore different ways to improve the effectiveness of compiler optimizations Design APIs for concurrent data structures and high-performance data structures to avoid inefficiencies Who this book is for This book is for experienced developers and programmers who work ...
