  1. deploy-cloudrun

    A GitHub Action for deploying services to Google Cloud Run.

    >Something I’m still having trouble believing is that complex workflows are going to move to e.g. AWS Lambda rather than stateless containers orchestrated by e.g. Amazon EKS. I think 0-1 it makes sense, but operating/scaling efficiently seems hard. […]

    This isn't really saying anything about serverless though. The issue here is not with serverless but that Lambda wants you to break up your server into multiple smaller functions. Google cloud run[0] let's you simply upload a Dockerfile and it will run it for you and deal with scalling (including scaling to zero).

  3. lithops

    A multi-cloud framework for big data analytics and embarrassingly parallel jobs, that provides an universal API for building parallel applications in the cloud ☁️🚀

    Lithops is a great library for abstracting over different cloud vendors so you can interact with a uniform API.

  4. apprunner-roadmap

    This is the public roadmap for AWS App Runner.

    Google cloud run and Azure container apps both let you run an arbitrary docker image without having to deal with custom setups. AWS has apprunner but it doesn't scale to zero.[0]

  5. dbos-transact-py

    Ultra-Lightweight Durable Execution in Python

    Here is an open source framework that my company makes that I think meets your requirements:

    https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-py

    You can build your software as a monolith and deploy it with one command to your own cloud or our cloud.

  6. sst

    Build full-stack apps on your own infrastructure.

    For anyone here struggling with AWS Amplify or AWS CDK - I recently discovered https://sst.dev/ for serverless deployment.

    It doesn't solve all problems (tt isn't a CRUD framework) - but it does make the developer experience much better as compared to Amplify.
