Session
In this talk, we will explore how to streamline the development and deployment of serverless Python applications by combining the power of the Pants build system and the speed of uv. By leveraging Pants’ dependency inference and caching capabilities alongside uv’s unparalleled installation speeds, we’ll demonstrate a seamless workflow for packaging Lambda functions and deploying them efficiently with Terraform. Through pre-recorded demos, we’ll showcase how this setup accelerates builds, reduces bloat, and simplifies the deployment process in an actual application.
