Build Safer APIs with Buf – Free Workshop
Building APIs is simple. Scaling them across teams and systems isn’t. Ensuring consistency, compatibility, and reliability quickly becomes a challenge as projects grow.
Buf provides a toolkit that makes working with Protocol Buffers faster, safer, and more consistent.
Join Buf for a live, one-hour workshop on building safer, more consistent APIs.
When: Nov 19, 2025 • 9 AM PDT | 12 PM EDT | 5 PM BST
What you’ll learn:
- How Protobuf makes API development safer and simpler
- API design best practices for real-world systems
- How to extend Protobuf to data pipelines and streaming systems

Faster Polars Queries with Programmatic Expressions
Problem:
When you want to use for loops to apply similar transformations, each Polars with_columns() call processes sequentially.
This prevents the optimizer from seeing the full computation plan.
Solution:
Instead, generate all Polars expressions programmatically before applying them together.
This enables Polars to:
- See the complete computation plan upfront
- Optimize across all expressions simultaneously
- Parallelize operations across CPU cores
itertools.chain: Merge Lists Without Intermediate Copies
Problem:
Standard list merging with extend() or concatenation creates intermediate copies.
This memory overhead becomes significant when processing large lists.
Solution:
itertools.chain() lazily merges multiple iterables without creating intermediate lists.
