DESCRIPTION:We've been told for years that stateless services are the holy 
 grail of\nscalable web architectures. But what if this foundational princi
 ple is\nactually hurting development speed and runtime performance?\n\nCod
 ing agents follow our example. They do what we would have done\, only\n10 
 times more. They also apply the "stateless is good" myth.\n\nThis talk cha
 llenges the dominant paradigm by demonstrating how\nstateful\, object-orie
 nted programming can automatically scale to\nmillions of users without the
  typical infrastructure complexity.\n\nI'll show how keeping objects with 
 their state in distributed memory\neliminates the need for explicit cachin
 g strategies\, reduces database\nbottlenecks\, and dramatically simplifies
  your code base. You'll see how\na simple Python class can transparently s
 cale across multiple servers\,\nhandling millions of concurrent users with
 out implementing REST\nendpoints\, message queues\, or cache invalidation 
 logic.\n\nSo you can guide your agent to do scalability the right way.
