15 Python Tips : How to Write Code Effectively

 Here are some Python tips to keep in mind that will help you write clean, efficient, and bug-free code.     Python Tips for Effective Coding 1. Code Readability and PEP 8  Always aim for clean and readable code by following PEP 8 guidelines.  Use meaningful variable names, avoid excessively long lines (stick to 79 characters), and organize imports properly. 2. Use List Comprehensions List comprehensions are concise and often faster than regular for-loops. Example: squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)] instead of creating an empty list and appending each square value. 3. Take Advantage of Python’s Built-in Libraries  Libraries like itertools, collections, math, and datetime provide powerful functions and data structures that can simplify your code.   For example, collections.Counter can quickly count elements in a list, and itertools.chain can flatten nested lists. 4. Use enumerate Instead of Range     When you need both the index and the value in a loop, enumerate is a more Pyth

The load balancer's purpose is to balance the incoming traffic. It allocates the incoming traffic to the available healthy servers. Here are the top AWS load balancers. AWS Load balancers These are Application Load Balancer, Gateway Load Balancer, and Network Load Balancer. Application Load Balancers Gateway Load Balancers Network Load Balancers   1. Application Load Balancers (ALB) A Load balancer contains two parts - Listeners and Target groups. The listener then connects to a target group. The listener first checks the availability of connection according to the IP address and Port you did configure. Adopted from Amazon AWS   2. Gateway Load Balancers (GWLB) A Gateway Load Balancer receives traffic from the source and sends the traffic to targets. It sends requests to multiple virtual appliances. It's the prime difference between ALB and GWLB. 3. Network Load Balancers (NLB) A Network Load Balancer functions at the fourth layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model
