Show HN: Run a Python Flask HTTP Server in AWS Lambda (w/Poetry)
https://github.com/scaffoldly/scaffoldly-examples/tree/python-flask-poetry
Scaffoldly allows you to run any HTTP server inside AWS Lambda. It requires no code changes to your existing server and a simple configuration in the project's pyproject.toml. Deployments can be done locally or in GitHub Actions.In this example, we're running a Flask server in AWS Lambda, and the scaffoldly toolchain handles packaging, deployment, and routing of AWS Lambda HTTP requests.

``` handler = "localhost:5000" ... start = "poetry run flask --app flask_poetry run -p 12345" ```
1. There's a Function URL that then creates a Lambda HTTP Event
2. There's a reverse proxy in the container that converts the Lambda HTTP Event back into a HTTP Request
3. Then the HTTP Respose is transformed back into a Lambda HTTP Event Response
@billconan if you'd like, join my Discord and I'd be happy dive into details and/or provide more docs: https://scaffoldly.dev/community
