Grant's Favorite Stuff

Article: Python + Flask + Kubernetes


A great step-by-step tutorial for running your own kubernetes container cluster locally using Minikube


Newsletter: PyCoder's Weely


A great resource to stay on top of the latest Python news and tools.


Article: Gaming - TCP vs UDP


An excellent discussion on latency vs. redundancy in network communication.
This article is specifically about gaming, but has helped me think about how my services communicate to each other on any platform.


Article: Flask vs. Django


A comparison of python web frameworks. FYI, this site is made with Flask, which I prefer because I get to choose exactly how everything works without the framework making too many decisions for me.
Although, I hope I have the opportunity to take a deep dive into Django sometime.
