Why developers should adopt IRIS instead of other database and interoperability tools?

Hi Team, we are going to deliver a speech on a developer forum where most developers hv not used our tech before but using other database and integration technologies , Pls give us some key points on why they should adopt us and the benefits you can get, especially if you change your tech stack from others to IRIS. Thanks a lot!

Some points: 

1. First ESB that allows you develop integrations using python, not java

2. Easy to create interoperability microservices, with support for kubernetes

3. you can create procedures and functions using python

4. you can create predictions and classifications using automl with sql language, very easy

5. in a same license you have, api gateway, esb, bi, database, reports and ML.

6. It is more easy create generative ia, because iris supports vector and python

7. Intersystems has the best dev community in the market, with comtests, gamifications with prizes, many articles, sample free apps.

I'm assuming folks from InterSystems have a more formal way of saying "you have a partner with InterSystems".  When the occasional crisis occurs, the support of many folks from WRC rally around your issue and see it to the end.  Having the ability to contact someone on the other end and resolve crisis issues is not something you are likely to get from other vendors.

Performance is number one for us. With properly defined and tuned tables, I've never seen a database run its queries faster than IRIS.

Also just a lot of native capabilities. It's pretty rare that we have to reach outside of what comes in the box. And now with embedded Python, when we do need to add something, we have a lot of options.

Aside from Python's technical benefits, there's also a personnel consideration. More and more younger developers are learning Python, and according to the PYPL index Python passed Java in popularity among learners in 2018 and is far beyond Java today. That means having Python as an option opens up your hiring pool more than any other language to the next generation of developers.
