Session
Most MCP servers break under real-world load. This talk reveals the Python patterns that transform basic implementations into production-ready systems handling serious workloads.
We'll explore advanced async techniques, intelligent error handling, and performance optimization that separate prototypes from scalable MCP infrastructure. Through live examples, we'll build servers that handle concurrent requests, implement smart caching, and recover from failures gracefully.
You'll discover practical patterns for connection management, memory optimization, and horizontal scaling that apply to any high-throughput Python system. This isn't about building your first MCP server—it's about engineering reliable, fast infrastructure ready for production.
Perfect for Python developers tackling AI agent
