    #491: DuckDB and Python: Ducks and Snakes living together
    Dec 27 2024
    Join me for an insightful conversation with Alex Monahan, who works on documentation, tutorials, and training at DuckDB Labs. We explore why DuckDB is gaining momentum among Python and data enthusiasts, from its in-process database design to its blazingly fast, columnar architecture. We also dive into indexing strategies, concurrency considerations, and the fascinating way MotherDuck (the cloud companion to DuckDB) handles large-scale data seamlessly. Don’t miss this chance to learn how a single pip install could totally transform your Python data workflow!

    #490: Django Ninja
    Dec 24 2024
    If you're a Django developer, I'm sure you've heard so many people raving about FastAPI and Pydantic. But you really love Django and don't want to switch. Then you might want to give Django Ninja a serious look. Django Ninja is highly inspired by FastAPI, but is also deeply integrated into Django itself. We have Vitaliy Kucheryaviy the creator of Django Ninja on this show to tell us all about it.
