### AI overview

A presentation on incrementally refactoring Python bottlenecks into Rust with PyO3 to improve function-level performance, retain integration testing, and reduce infrastructure costs.

### Source excerpt

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
