Integrating with external services is painful. At Vinta, we build and deal with both public and private APIs on the daily basis. Having worked in many of those projects I can safely tell that we are currently in hell when it comes to integrations.

When developing applications that have specific needs for running asynchronous tasks outside the web application, it is common to adopt a task queue such as Celery. This allows, for example, for the server to start an asynchronous task for heavyweight processing, and then return an answer.

This blog entry has two main goals. The first one is to help you understand what is function composition. In the second goal, we will deal with two of the best Python modules: operator and functools.

There are many ways to handle permissions in a project. For instance we may have model level permissions, object level permissions, fine grained user permission or role based. Either way we don't need to write any of those from scratch, Django ecosystem has a vast amount of permission handling apps

One of the best ways to learn something is by comparing it to things we already know. This blog post has two main goals. The first one is to introduce the basic concepts of functional programming, and for that we will compare with the main rival paradigm, the imperative programming.

We are in the era of Software as a Service and microservices. From the techinical point of view this means we are writting more web APIs than we use to. This also means we need to build clients to free our souls from dealing with bare HTTP. This doesn't mean we should separate this much from HTTP
