About Zappa

Zappa was created in 2016 by Rich Jones to address the complexity of deploying Python web applications to AWS Lambda. It aimed to simplify the transition of WSGI-compatible applications, like Flask and Django, into serverless environments, reducing the overhead of managing infrastructure and enabling automatic scaling and maintenance.

Strengths of Zappa include ease of deployment for serverless applications, automatic scaling, and reduced infrastructure management. Weaknesses include potential cold start latency issues and limitations inherent to AWS Lambda, such as execution time constraints. Competitors include AWS Chalice, Serverless Framework, and Apex Up.
