#458: Serverless Python in 2024

Serverless has moved from the fringes to the forefront of modern application architecture, especially for Pythonistas looking to reduce operational complexity. Today, we’re joined by Tony Sherman—an industry pro who’s taken Python-based projects from proof-of-concept to production, all powered by serverless tech like AWS Lambda and RDS Proxy. We’ll break down real-world performance tips, packaging best practices, and highlight the new wave of serverless-friendly libraries in the Python ecosystem. Whether you’re building IoT pipelines, spinning up ephemeral dev environments, or just sick of tinkering with Kubernetes, this discussion will help you decide if serverless is your next logical move—and how to get there smoothly.
