Hey. Thanks for the response.

I don't honestly care about json vs yaml. I mean i will not go in a holywar abou it :D but probably yaml is more human readable.

Anyway, the whole question was to make sure if i am missing out on not looking hard into the Serverless framework, maybe it is somehow superior to Zappa or anything like that.

From what I understand it is not and both are just possible options, if I understood you right. Thanks again.

Now about async stuff.

If a function is wrapped in a Zappa @task, then when it is called it checks if it is called in lambda environment. in this case it invokes a lambda function goes on.

So this invocation on cold dev/staging environment(when there are no concurrent requests, for example when only one me playing with the app) it takes quite a while to invoke it. But it feels that it gets faster once at least 2-3 people work with the app in parallel.

Anyway. Thanks again for the post!
Great work!

Thank you for the feedback.

In Serverless you also can call another Lambda function from Django Lambda. But I think it is a bit more complex than just @task decorator. There are a lot of plugins for Serverless framework. One of them serverless-plugin-warmup. It can help you to keep warm your lambdas.
