Serverless Django with Zappa
summary
Zappa claims to run WSGI Django apps on AWS Lambda and actually packages the app into a ZIP then creates API Gateway routes, Lambda functions and an S3 bucket for artifacts, with commands like zappa deploy staging and zappa certify using a certificate ARN. Runtime notes: logs and manage commands work, cold starts can take a couple seconds, Lambda now allows up to 15 minute executions, and a practical cost anecdote is near zero for hobby sites versus ~$50 EC2 with about 3.5M free invocations.
