3 cool project ideas for Python programmers
For building your API, I recommend using the Flask library. It is very beginner-friendly, and you will be able to build a simple API in a matter of minutes! Keep in mind that, for a more serious project, you should definitely use something like gunicorn to run you API as a production server.

Django 4.1 Released
Interesting looks like it might actually be a python bug. Somehow just changing from sys.exit(0) -> os._exit(0) apparently fixes it.
Yep for production that works. In development tho I don't think the gunicorn --reload flag works with that worker type so you end up having to use uvicorn if you want to be able to code loading.
This may have changed but I remember this being an issue around 8-9 months ago the last time I checked and going back https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/2339 it looks like the issue is still open.

Do I need to use Nginx when hosting Django Docker backend inside of ECS?
I did some googling and just realized I'm using ALB not ELB, not sure yet if that makes a huge difference for this particular issue. I found the github issue which unfortunately was closed: https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/1194
