Strawberry with Patrick Arminio

The Developers' Bakery

Today we touch a bit on the Python 🐍 world as I have the honor to have on-stage Patrick Arminio, author and maintainer of Strawberry 🍓.

Strawberry is a GraphQL library for Python 3. It comes with a lot of nice features built on top of language feature such as dataclasses and type hints.

Patrick is also doing an amazing work in building a vibrant community around this project. In this episode he will walk us through the story of this project, and some of the community initiatives he started to support this project.
