Going with Zappa and Django
Grey Brinson
January 25, 2022
<p>Chalice is cool and it has a Flask like feel to it, but after running into issues with Cognito while trying to set up security on my Chalice based blog app, I decided to give Zappa and Django a shot. I'm sure someone who is a bit more savvy with Chalice could make this all work, but at the end of the day, I had to move on and get things done.</p><p>When I took the decision to move to Zappa, I then had the opportunity to use Flask or Django with other options such as Bottle also available. I decided after my previous attempts to go with Django since it had an onboard security structure. It is is extensible such that I can use external authentication and authorization solutions such as Auth0 or Cognito if get froggy later on. I also wanted to stay with AWS serverless and Python, so, given these constraints, this appears to be the best solution.</p>
