Session
Serverless applications have transformed software development and deployment. Building serverless applications with Python on AWS presents unique challenges, especially for developers accustomed to frameworks like Django, Flask, and FastAPI. This talk explores strategies to maintain the developer experience of these frameworks while gaining the benefits of serverless. We will cover key patterns and tools, such as Lambdalith, AWS Chalice, AWS Lambda Powertools, single-purpose function patterns, event-driven architecture, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.
