Check out the handler source code in Zappa for an example of a pattern like that. Similarly, if you use Zappa to deploy your application, if you create your database connection when the application loads, it'll just work.

Stop by the Zappa slack if you want to explore this in more detail! https://slack.zappa.io It could always use more investigation, but there are quite a few Zappa users at extremely high loads now without any issues.

You've got a problem with the naked domain redirects http://zappa.io https://zappa.io/

This project looks super interesting. Thanks for sharing it! Now I want to come up with a use case to test it out over the next few days, maybe something for the Echo? I joined your Slack, we'll see where this takes us :)

That's a great use case, many people are using flask-ask and Zappa together to great success: https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask
