Episode: Building Resilient Python Apps for Unreliable Networks (sps25)
Description: In many parts of the world, especially across Africa, software cannot assume a stable internet connection. From rural communities to field agents working in transit or enforcement, the reality is simple: offline is the default, and sync is a luxury. In this talk, we’ll explore how to build offline-first applications using Python — apps that work gracefully when the network doesn’t. Drawing from real-world civic and infrastructure projects scenarios in Nigeria, I’ll walk through techniques to queue, cache, and sync data locally, using tools like SQLite, Redis, Celery, and FastAPI. We’ll explore design patterns that prevent data loss, impr...
