Zappa

Posts with mentions or reviews of Zappa. We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives and similar projects. The last one was on 2022-08-02.
  • Serverless Templates for AWS and Python
    9 projects | dev.to | 2 Aug 2022
    Another alternative is Zappa which is built-in Python Serverless Framework and it serves only that runtime on AWS.
  • How to make Django package smaller for Serverless deployment
    3 projects | /r/django | 28 May 2022
    Also, Zappa core team is looking for contributors to manage the project. I don't know why someone would leave a project like this. It had nearly 12k stars on original repo here https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa and has around 1.7k on the new one.
  • Securing AWS Lambda Function URLs
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 May 2022
    I used to work for a startup that quickly grew to become one of the biggest Lambda users in my country (according to AWS). The entire business was serverless, not just Lambda but backend DynamoDB, APIGW, Cloudfront, etc. There was maybe 2 EC2 instances in the whole company.

    Having seen what that model of development can do from an operational/security/agility/scalability/efficiency perspective, I think the comments on HN about serverless saying "it's just CGI" or that they could do something similar without vendor lockin are honestly laughably ignorant. If you haven't messed with Zappa (https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa) or Serverless Framework (https://www.serverless.com/) at least a little you are missing out.

  • How do I reduce request size?
    2 projects | /r/django | 12 Nov 2021
    Hi u/appliku I think Zappa has been moved from https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa repo to its own repo and account https://github.com/zappa/Zappa Also, they released version 0.54.0 (Minor version) on Oct 14.
  • Best Hosting platform for hosting multiple FLASK apps?
    2 projects | /r/flask | 10 Aug 2021
    I like deploying on AWS Fargate or AWS Lambda using zappa for very low-cost deployments. Because Lambda has a (always) free tier usage, you can get away with hosting many sites for next-to-nothing with Zappa.
  • Building A Word Association Network from Scratch
    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Jan 2021
    While Lambda functions were rather complicated to set up in the beginning, with the help of the handy Zappa library and tons of StackOverflow posts, I was able to build One Word Domains' very own lambda function that would find the most similar words for a given query and return them in JSON format.

    I hope your head is not spinning. Now you might think, Wait, I have a Flask or my Django app where the framework is taking care of the endpoints in my python code. Do I need to recreate several lambdas? A valid question. Luckily, there is also an awesome Plugin for that.
  • AWS is playing chess, Cloudflare is playing Go

    > But two years from now CloudFlare could be doing the exact same stuff Amazon is doing now, and customers are locked in again, because no source code.

    I hear this argument often but it always rings hollow.

    A friend had a first gen iPod – when he wanted to switch, he discovered that the music he bought on iTunes couldn't be moved anywhere else because of DRM. That's lock in.

    But this morning I was looking at the source code of an app built against the Serverless framework[1] and what I'm seeing is a bog standard WSGI application that uses a library to transform the inbound AWS "proprietary bits" into WSGI[2]. I'm not worried about lock-in there because all API Gateway + Lambda do is "translate an HTTP request into a JSON object and toss it to an app"[3] – what source code am I missing? The underlying Lambda/APIGW code? OK, but do I need it to run it myself? Not really.

    Many – most? – AWS products tend towards this analysis. S3 is so locked in that, what, we now have multiple very high quality alternatives that are API compatible?

    The real risk of cloud vendor lock in, from where I sit, comes from egregious pricing models that make it cheap to get data in & expensive to push data out. But I'm not sure Cloudflare has the juice to make this play work: egress pricing is essentially free money for AWS, so they've got lots of room to cut costs there – from what I've heard from people who negotiate real bills with AWS, they're very happy to give you discounts there.
