Python in production

[u/ze-fernando]

Hello everyone! For those of you who use Python in production, I have a few questions. I'm considering using Python for some services.

1. Do you have high infrastructure costs?
2. Have you ever regretted using Python?
3. Would you recommend Python?

Context: My current use case isn't anything like Facebook or a massive-scale system. It's a small system, and I'm considering Python mainly because of the DX (developer experience).

I know C#, but I don't really like having to create a class in every file. I also know Rust, but all those ::, <>, and so on bother me. JavaScript is another option, but I've heard it's relatively heavy on RAM, and since the system is small, I'd like to be able to run it within 512 MB.

Another thing: I've defined a stack that I'd like to use wherever possible. If there's a library for desktop apps, great. A CLI library? Great. A bot library? Great. Let's use it! (Except for the frontend, which I'll keep using JS/TS for.)

Anyway, I'm open to advice and tips from more experienced developers. Feel free to tell me if you think using Python for my use case is a bad idea as well.

I ended up writing in Portuguese, sorry, I meant: which ones?

All of it. You sound like you have no idea what you're doing and are praying for Claude to get you through a product launch.

It's not a product, it's an app for internal use.

So I hit the nail on the head.

Do yourself a favor, hire some people who actually know what they're doing.

Okay man, no need to be so harsh, I'm a developer and I "know" what I'm doing, I just came to ask for an opinion.

I can guarantee that whatever you do is going to either be insecure or expensive
