Python type hinting and how we use it at Tiqets to have stable, self-
documenting, maintainable code.


Memory address in python!
-------------------------

Mridu Bhatnagar [3] is a software engineer. She loves paying it
forward and giving back to the community. When not programming she is
usually giving talks, taking workshops at various community meetups.


Abstract
~~~~~~~~

Let us understand what is happening to the memory address when you are
working with built-in objects like ("int", "str", "bool", "lists",
"dictionaries", "set").


Minimal containers for your Python application
----------------------------------------------

About Mircea Cosbuc [4]:

I am a back-end developer turned Dev Ops. I spent most of my
development years writing Python, which might explain the transition.


Abstract
~~~~~~~~

Your Python application is running in a container, great! What can you
do now to make this container as small as possible and why would you
even bother? We're going to discuss the need of creating the smallest
container image possible, observe some methods to achieve it and
reflect on whether the journey was worth it.
