Explore real engineering trade-offs in backend architecture:

• Building new services from scratch vs evolving long-running systems

• Refactoring vs rewriting: when each makes sense

• How constraints, legacy code, and hidden complexity shape decisions

• Long-term trade-offs in architecture and team processes

Think of it as a Python backend architecture debate - in a relaxed Sunday late-morning atmosphere.

Format:

This meetup is built around discussion - not presentations:

• moderated conversation between experienced engineers
• contrasting viewpoints & real production trade-offs
• practical lessons from systems running in the real world
• space to listen, challenge ideas or join the discussion

Expect a focused engineering crowd, good coffee and a relaxed Sunday late-morning atmosphere with a light DJ background.
