 Software isn’t just developed; it is operated.
 
 DevOps is a philosophy combining development and operations in a tight loop to shorten the software development lifecycle.  This September, David will introduce some tools and design practices to make python software deployments more manageable, faster, and easier.  Starting with a Python script that performs a useful function, we’ll webify it, containerize it, put it in the cloud, and monitor its health.
 
 David Webber, PhD, is co-founder and chief scientist of Scanalytics, Inc.  Founded in 2013, Scanalytics makes smart pressure-sensitive flooring underlayment to understand real-time occupancy and movement within physical spaces, with applications including building energy efficiency and security.  David also served as a PI within the ARPA-E SENSOR program.  Prior to Scanalytics, David studied muon and neutrino particle physics.  In his spare time, David enjoys playing cooperative tabletop, RPG, and online games.

+Get ready to dive into the exciting world where Rust meets Python! We'll focus on two quality-of-life tools: Ruff, a lightning-fast linter and formatter, and uv, an innovative package manager that's set to revolutionize Python dependency management. These Rust-powered tools are reshaping the Python development landscape. We'll examine their practical applications, from local development environments to deployment scenarios, including containerization strategies. Along the way, we'll uncover why Rust-based tools have become so valuable in the Python ecosystem, and showcase examples of direct language interoperability that significantly boost performance. By the end of the talk, I hope you'll gain some insight how these Rust-powered innovations are transforming Python development and what this means for the future of the ecosystem.
