Today we explore the wild world of Python deployment with my friend Calvin Hendrix Parker from six feet up.

We'll tackle some of the biggest challenges in taking a Python app from It Works on My Machine to Production,

covering inconsistent environments, conflicting dependencies, and sneaky security pitfalls.

Along the way, Calvin shares how containerization with Docker and Kubernetes can both simplify

and complicate deployments, especially for smaller teams. Finally, we'll introduce SCAF, a powerful

project blueprint designed to give developers a rock solid start on Python web projects of all sizes.
