You are now equipped to create and deploy fully functional serverless Flask applications on AWS Lambda. However, in addition to what we've discussed so far, Zappa has a broader set of functionality. Other things you can do with Zappa:

• Function scheduling (similar to celery)

Execute functions in response to events from S3 uploads, DynamoDB entries, Kinesis streams, SNS messages, and SQS queues

Asynchronous task execution

handle events triggered by Application Load Balancers

All of these things are described in the well-written Zappa documentation. Have fun, and if you create a serverless Flask application I'd love to hear about it! Feel free to drop me a line at joe@compellingpython.com.
