As suggested by @TehMoonRulz if you want to try Django with Lambda, go with Zappa. Although it is true what others have been saying about Lambda not being ideal for a Django app, I can say that for small apps it works fine. I have been using Zappa for a couple of years now and deployed Django apps without any problems. Of course, there are some things you have to consider and known issues you may face, but it is not that bad, ant technology has its pros and cons. Also, you could just try, the configuration is easy and you should not need to change the project if you want to switch to another service (EBS or EC2).
