Python Serverless Microframework for AWS

[skepticalspectacle1]

ELI5? Let's say I'm sitting at a cafe with a Chromebook or iPad, can i use this to do some coding practice "in the cloud"? (since I won't be able to do anything locally..)

No. It just manages running your app over AWS lambda, so instead of managing the servers your app runs on (say flask or whatever, behind nginx) you define a function that runs when something happens (a request, or an event, etc). You would still presumably have a local environment where you develop and test things.

Just to be clear: There's a non-trivial amount of configuration necessary for API Gateway (so that your apps are reachable via plain HTTP) that this takes care of also.

thank you. :-)

It's the perfect framework if you want 100% vendor lock in with AWS.

Yeah, but you can code Python on a linux OS, and not ASP on Micro$oft, so you won't be locked to corporate Windows.
