James Saryerwinnie - Writing Redis in Python with asyncio [EuroPython 2016] [21 July 2016] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] (https://ep2016.europython.eu//conference/talks/writing-redis-in-python-with-asyncio)
In this talk, I'll show you how to write redis using asyncio. You'll see how you can create a real world application using asyncio by creating a python port of redis.
Python has been adding more and more async features to the language. Starting with asyncio in python 3.4 and including the new async/await keywords in python 3.5, it's difficult to understand how all these pieces fit together. More importantly, it's hard to envision how to use these new language features in a real world application. In this talk we're going to move beyond the basic examples of TCP echo servers and example servers that can add number together. Instead I'll show you a realistic asyncio application. This application is a port of redis, a popular data structure server, written in python using asyncio. In addition to basic topics such as handling simple redis commands (GET, SET, APPEND, etc), we'll look at notifications using pub/sub, how to implement the MONITOR command, and persistence. Come learn how to apply the asyncio library to real world applications.
