In this chapter, we are going to cover asynchronous task execution on AWS Lambda. AWS Lambda makes autoscaling and asynchronous execution very easy to achieve. Zappa can help us to configure tasks so that they are executed in an asynchronous manner on AWS Lambda. Zappa implements features to manage responses for asynchronous tasks.
The topics we will cover in this chapter include the following:
- Asynchronous execution
- AWS Lambda asynchronous invocation using Zappa
- Configuring the Quote API application with asynchronous features
- Deploying and executing the Quote API using Zappa
