Physicist in IT: Physics in Advent — •André Wobst — wobsta GmbH, Unterschleißheim

For more than 17 years I am working as a service provider in planning, realization and administration of physics-related IT projects. Here I present one of the projects, namely a physics Advent calendar. The technology stack is rather common and efficient: Python, Flask, PostgreSQL to name just the most important building blocks. The load of such a project (more than 43,000 users in 2019, all within a few weeks and with high daily return rate) is operated on moderate infrastructure by taking into account efficiency right from the start. I overview challenges that arise during implementation and operation and show some web analytics, monitoring data and report on attacks. I will also discuss a few pitfalls like avoiding backpressure (a term adopted from fluid dynamics to IT).
