What Python is used for in our projects
Python is the common ground between application engineering and data work. On the web side we build Django and Django REST Framework back ends, FastAPI services with async endpoints, and internal tools with admin-heavy interfaces. On the data side we build ETL jobs with Airflow or Prefect, reporting back ends, scraping and integration scripts, and model-serving APIs. One language across both reduces hand-offs between application and data teams and keeps ownership clear.
AI-first products are the other large category. Retrieval-augmented generation services, document extraction, recommendation endpoints, agent back ends orchestrated with LangChain or LlamaIndex, and classical scikit-learn or PyTorch models are all most easily wrapped in Python. We keep model code separate from the web layer, so a model change does not force a redeploy of the whole product and can be rolled back on its own.
