But how do you make those applications scale for thousands of users and requests? It takes years of practice, research, trial and errors to build experience and knowledge along the way. Simple questions such as "How do I make my code faster?" or "How do I make sure there is no bottleneck?" cost hours to find good answers. Without enough background on the topic, you'll never be sure that any answer you'll come up with will be correct. The Hacker's Guide to Scaling Python will help you solve that by providing guidelines, tips and best practice. Adding a few interviews of experts on the subject, you will learn how you can distribute your Python application so it is able to process thousands of requests.
