Advanced Alchemy at PySanAntonio
Nov 10, 2025
It looks like San Antonio hosted its first Python conference for a half day on Nov 8!
That alone is really cool! But also, I'm a huge fan of Advanced Alchemy, and Cody Fincher (creator of the library) gave a talk about it there as well.
Here's a few notes about Advanced Alchemy that he covers:
- Rigorously tested on 10+ databases
- Native integrations with your favorite web frameworks
- Architected with domain-driven development in mind
- Expansive boilerplate CRUD operations out of the box
- Optimizations under the hood dependent on db choices
- Automatic/optimized filters
- Bulk data loading
- Cloud storage access
- And more...
