Python at Scale: Strict Modules
Welcome to the third post in our series on Python at scale at Instagram! As we mentioned in the first post in the series, Instagram Server is a several-million-line Python monolith, and it moves quickly: hundreds of commits each day, deployed to production every few minutes.
We’ve run into a few pain points working with Python at that scale and speed. This article takes a look at a few that we imagine might impact others as well.

Bayesian Decision Theory Explained
Bayesian Decision Theory is the statistical approach to pattern classification. It leverages probability to make classifications, and measures the risk (i.e. cost) of assigning an input to a given class.
In this article we'll start by taking a look at prior probability, and how it is not an efficient way of making predictions. Bayesian Decision Theory makes better predictions by using the prior probability, likelihood probability, and evidence to calculate the posterior probability. We'll discuss all of these concepts in detail. Finally, we'll map these concepts from Bayesian Decision Theory to their context in machine learning.
