Rich Jones

Hi there! I'm Rich Jones, the author and maintainer of Zappa - Python's Server-less Framework!

Zappa is used by thousands of companies and individuals to build and deploy server-less Python applications on top of AWS Lambda. This saves them thousands of dollars in hosting, development and operations costs, because using Zappa means infinite scaling, zero downtime, zero maintenance - at a fraction of the cost of current deployments!

If you or your company use Zappa, I would greatly appreciate your continued support of the project. This would allow me to continue to develop and maintain the project over the course of the coming year.

Specifically, I would like to work on:

• Support for non-AWS vendors (OpenWhisk, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure, Fission)
• Maintaining compatibility with all of AWS's services and regions
• Native support for Python 3
• Celery-compatible job replacement
• Function decorators for asynchronous programming
• Better Continuous Integration support
• Better IAM managements for large teams
• Security auditing
• Fixing bugs and adding new features
• Performance improvements and upstream collaboration
• Tutorials, documentation, guides and screencasts
• A library of Free and Open Source server-less microservices for common tasks
• Improved support for AI/Machine Learning and other scientific libraries

As you can see, there is still a lot of work to be done! Your support allows me to improve this software for you and all of the other users.

In exchange for your support, I'd love to promote the companies and individuals who support Zappa development by displaying their logos in the documentation and on the Zappa website. I'm also available for custom application development, support and training!

Thank you very much!
Rich
