Serverless Templates for AWS and Python
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.

Building serverless websites (lambdas written with python) - do I use FastAPI or plain old python?
Chalice was a consequence, a reaction from AWS to the release of (Zappa Framework)[https://github.com/zappa/Zappa] that provide a very good alternative to migrate very quickly a Django/Flask or any WSGI compliant solution in Python.

Best way to host Django DRF on AWS? (so many competing options)
Use Zappa https://github.com/zappa/Zappa and host as a Lambda, simple setup and deployment, Lambda only costs when processing requests, no servers to mess around with

How to deploy a project from git lab backend where I used django on backend and database
One of my favorite options that is probably the most cost-effective is to deploy using a 'severless' model on AWS Lambda using zappa which supports deploying Python webapps to AWS in this way. Zappa also makes it super easy to deploy in just a couple commands! The README includes instructions for everything you might need, including handling sensitive information like your database passwords, running django management commands, setting up DNS, etc.

I’m a Brazilian salesforce developer and want to work with django stack. Any tips?
Deployment works nicely with Docker. I often use AWS AppRunner because it's really easy and just scales. Some people use AWS Lambda with Zappa but I don't recommend it unless you really want to spend less than $15 a month. You will probably need Django Storages to save uploads to an S3 bucket. At some stage you might want to put a CloudFront distribution in front of everything but the configuration of the caching behaviour might be a bit confusing when you do it the first time.

Why or why not use AWS Lambda instead of a web framework for your REST APIs? (Business projects)
It doesn't have to be an either-or! I have several apps in production that were developed on Django or Flask, and deployed to Lambda using Zappa.

Backend Server with Django Rest API
If you need a relational DB, you can use AWS Aurora or RDS and use cloud functions ('lambda' in AWS) that you can invoke with HTTP to process the document first. Zappa will do a lot of the configuration for you if you go that route.

Easiest/Best way to deploy django to AWS?
Lambda + API gateway, this library bundles a Django application into a lambda https://github.com/zappa/Zappa . 1 million free invokes from aws, scale to zero, plugs into your RDS
