Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
If people aren't familiar, there's a similar project for Python that's fantastic: https://github.com/zappa/Zappa

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

We clone a running VM in 2 seconds
I use Zappa, it just schedules a frequent execution of the lambda: https://github.com/zappa/Zappa#keeping-the-server-warm

How to Create Virtual Environments in Python
Python's venv module is officially recommended for creating virtual environments since Python 3.5 comes packaged with your Python installation. While there still are additional older tools available, such as conda and virtualenv, if you are new to virtual environments, it is best to use venv now.

PSA: conda-libmamba-solver can cut two hours off of your Anaconda install, but has only 47 GitHub stars. It deserves more praise.
conda's dependency solver solves a harder problem than pip's. This quote alludes to it "Conda will never be as fast as pip, so long as we're doing real environment solves and pip satisfies itself only for the current operation." (from https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7239). Thus mamba was created to improve performance and now conda is bringing in that performance boost.
- Is Anaconda still open source?

How to get the best Conda environment experience in Codespaces
The other challenge I ran into sometimes was that if I was running a lower memory/storage Codespace instance, when I tried to use Conda from the command line to modify environments, the process would be killed after a few seconds. This turns out to be related to some performance issues Conda has that make it consume a lot of memory when trying to work with the conda-forge installation channel. You can always then just increase the size of the Codespace your are working with (just go to your Codespaces list and use the triple dots to change the settings for a Codespace).

What is the status of Python 3.11?
It's worth noting that [ana]conda isn't even fully compatible yet with 3.11 (you can use it to create 3.11 environments--and you really should rather than waiting on relying on the system python--but conda itself can only run on 3.10.

Miniconda finally released for Python 3.10
It took some time but as great Christmas present Miniconda was finally released with Python 3.10!
