An enterprise application is a critical application that aims to solve the specific business needs of an organization. The requirements of an enterprise application differ greatly from those that are usually needed by an individual. These applications are supposed to provide high performance and scalability to enable the increasing everyday needs of an organization.

Keeping this in mind, this book is intended for developers who have an intermediate knowledge of coding in Python and are willing to dive deeper into building applications that can be scaled up, based on the needs of the organization. The book provides several examples that can be executed on Python 3.7 running on Linux-based distributions, but which also work on other operating systems.

To make the best use of this book, you must have a basic understanding of fundamental operating system concepts, such as process management and multithreading. Beyond this, a basic working knowledge of database systems may be beneficial, although not mandatory.

Developers who are familiar with the different aspects of building applications in Python can get to learn about the tools and techniques that can help them build scalable applications and provide them with an idea of the enterprise application development approach.
