When you choose a framework
0:01
whether that's for a database or a web framework
0:03
it's good to know that you're in good company
0:05
and that other companies and products
0:07
have already tested this and looked around and decided
0:11
Yep, SQLAlchemy is a great choice.
0:13
So let's look at some of the popular deployments.
0:17
Dropbox is a user of SQLAlchemy
0:19
and Dropbox is one of the most significant
0:23
Python shops out there.
0:25
Guido van Rossum and some of the other core developers
0:28
work there and almost everything they do is in Python.
0:31
So the fact that they use SQLAlchemy
0:33
that's a very high vote of confidence.
0:36
Uber. Uber uses SQLAlchemy.
0:38
Reddit. Reddit's interesting in that they don't use the ORM
0:43
but in fact they use only the core.
0:45
At least, wow, hey we're using only the core aspect
0:49
of SQLAlchemy, that's pretty cool.
0:52
Firefox, Mozilla, more properly is using SQLAlchemy.
0:57

1:08
that's the public transit authority

The trains, the buses and things like that
1:15
so they use that as well.
1:16
So here are just a couple of the companies and products
1:18
that use SQLAlchemy.
1:20
There's some really high pressure
1:22
some of these are under.
1:23
You know if it's working for them
1:25
it's going to work well for you, especially Reddit.
1:27
Reddit gets a crazy amount of traffic, so
1:30
pretty interesting that they're all using it
1:32
and we'll see why in a little bit.
