• Real-Time Django

  by Ben Slavin and Adam Miskiewicz

  The web is live. APIs give us access to continuously changing data. We discuss ways to get real-time data into your app, how to handle data processing and what to do when you get thousands of updates per second.

  "Caching is the answer" can't always be the answer. We discuss how to ensure your site is up-to-date when the data behind it is continuously changing.

  We'll discuss three primary areas pertaining to real-time-data.
