Zato is a project that shows Python is a great choice for systems integration due to its flexibility and wealth of useful libraries. In this episode we had the opportunity to speak with Dariusz Suchojad, the creator of Zato about why he decided to make it and what makes it interesting. Listen to the episode and then take it for a spin.</p> <h3>Brief Introduction</h3> <ul> <li>Hello and welcome to Podcast.__init__, the podcast about Python and the people who make it great.</li> <li>Subscribe on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast.-init/id981834425?mt=2&uo=6&at=&ct=&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">iTunes</a>, <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=64838&refid=stpr&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Stitcher</a>, <a href="http://tunein.com/embed/follow/p726240/#?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">TuneIn</a> or <a href="https://www.pythonpodcast.com/feed/mp3/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss">RSS</a></li> <li>Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/Podcast__init__?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://plus.google.com/+Podcastinit-the-python-podcast?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Google+</a></li> <li>Give us feedback!

What performance bottlenecks are common when using zato?</li> <li>It seems that most other ESB projects are written in Java. What advantages does Python have over Java for this kind of project and in what ways is it inferior?</li> <li>The architectural nature of ESBs are such that they form the central backbone of a software system. How have you been able to ensure an appropriate level of reliability and stability in Zato while still delivering new features and improvements?</li> <li>What are the scalability and high availability characteristics of Zato?</li> <li>Does zato run well using pypy?</li> <li>For anyone wanting to use Zato, what are the infrastructure requirements for deployment?</li> <li>What are some of the security ramifications you took into account in zato’s design?</li> <li>What are some of the most novel uses for Zato that you have seen or heard about?</li> </ul> <h3>Picks</h3> <ul> <li>Tobias <ul> <li><a href="http://amzn.to/1PP6BZF?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SPY</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.reverbnation.com/royersonemanband?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Eric Royer’s One Man Band</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pip-tools</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Chris <ul> <li><a href="http://spaghettionthewallproductions.com/rational-security/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Rational Security</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.newrustacean.com/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">New Rustacean Podcast</a></li> <li><a href="http://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2011/02/johan-goes-to-mexico.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Johan Goes to Mexico</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Dariusz <ul> <li><a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sublime Text Editor</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3>Keep In Touch</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://zato.io?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">zato.io</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/zatosource?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Twiter</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/zatosource?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Github</a></li> </ul> <p>The intro and outro music is from Requiem for a Fish <a href="http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Freak_Fandango_Orchestra/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Freak Fandango Orchestra</a> / <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">CC BY-SA</a><img alt="" height="0" src="https://analytics.boundlessnotions.com/piwik.php?idsite=1&rec=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pythonpodcast.com%2Fepisode-31-dariusz-suchojad-on-zato%2F&action_name=Dariusz+Suchojad+on+Zato+-+Episode+31&urlref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pythonpodcast.com%2Ffeed%2F&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss" style="border: 0; width: 0; height: 0;" width="0" /></p>
