  • App crashed on Heroku-22 and Python 3.11 upgrade.

    Everything that's in `/app` is the compiled application; changes should be made locally and redeployed. Looking at the `python-jose` package, they've made the changes already (https://github.com/mpdavis/python-jose/blob/master/jose/jwt.py) so should be able to update `python-jose` locally (`requirements.txt`, I think?) and re-deploy to solve this.

    If you're using a API Gateway REST API, then yeah, a lambda authorizer is the way to go. You can use something like python-jose to work with the JWTs.
