We have two talks for you this time!

1. Building lightning-fast asynchronous APIs with FastAPI - Erry Kostala

Python 3 has brought on asyncio but there are still not many modules out there using it. One of the most ambitious and well-made python3 projects is FastAPI - A self-documenting, lightning-fast MVC framework that uses asyncio and python types to help developers build quickly and make APIs that keep performing as the project grows. I'm not a contributor to the project but I have used it in my previous job and loved it, and would love to spread the word as it's still not that well-known and it's growing!

2. Getting Started with Python & MongoDB - Mark Smith

MongoDB is probably the world's most popular document database, and it has not one, but TWO, fully supported Python drivers.

This talk will cover core database operations and then move into some of MongoDB's more advanced features (because CRUD is a bit boring!)
I will give an overview of the features of MongoDB, including some features that many think MongoDB doesn't support, including transactions and joins. I'll cover:

* What MongoDB is (and isn't);
* How to effectively use the document model;
* Transactions;
* Aggregation queries, including joins!

You'll leave with a good idea of how to integrate MongoDB with your next project, and whether you might want to!
