Learn how to dramatically improve Python application performance by combining Foreign Function Interface (FFI) with asyncio in this 19-minute conference talk. Discover practical techniques for integrating native code speed with Python's asynchronous programming capabilities through a real-world case study of supercharging a Python Valkey/Redis client. Explore the implementation strategies and performance optimizations that allow you to maintain Python's ease of use while achieving near-native execution speeds. Gain insights from AWS ElastiCache's approach to the Valkey-glide open-source project and understand how FFI can be leveraged to break through traditional Python performance barriers without abandoning the language entirely.
