Rustifying Python: A Practical Guide to Achieving High Performance While Maintaining Observability

🔊 Recorded at PyCon DE & PyData 2025, April 25, 2025 https://2025.pycon.de/program/QXSQKL/ 🎓 In this session, I’ll share our journey of migrating key parts of a Python application to Rust, resulting in over 200% performance improvement. Speakers: Max Höhl Description: In this session, I’ll share our journey of migrating key parts of a Python application to Rust, resulting in over 200% performance improvement. Rather than focusing on quick Rust-to-Python integration with PyO3, this talk dives into the complexities of implementing such a migration in an enterprise environment, where reliability, scalability, and observability are crucial. You’ll learn from our mistakes, how we identified suitable areas for Rust integration, and how we extended our observability ⭐️ About PyCon DE & PyData: The PyCon DE & PyData conference unite the Python, AI, and data science communities, offering a unique platform for collaboration and innovation.
