Plugins case study: Pluggy

The post explains how Pluggy works as a reusable Python library for building plugin systems, centered on hooks that hosts define and plugins implement. It also highlights the design tradeoffs Pluggy handles well, including registration, signature validation, ordering, and hook wrappers, while leaving plugin discovery largely up to the application.

How I made dependency injection in Python 130× faster: from reflection to compiling the graph

The post shows how a Python dependency injection container was optimized from ~53 µs to 0.40 µs per resolve by caching plans, eliminating unnecessary checks, and compiling dependency graphs into generated code. Along the way, it demonstrates practical performance engineering techniques, including code generation, common-subexpression elimination, fuzz testing, and reproducible benchmarking

The Fastest Python Struct?

The article explores the performance tradeoffs of Python's various struct-like types, focusing on startup and type-definition costs rather than runtime business logic. Extensive benchmarks reveal that NamedTuple sits in the middle of the pack, while msgspec and C-backed implementations deliver the fastest type creation and startup times.
