CAP (Content and Application) platform built on the SAM (serverless application model) model.

cappy

Python serverless web framework with microservices in mind.

Quick History

Cappy is the foundation for the Capless CAP (Content and Application Platform). What is a CAP? We like to think of it as an evolution of the CMS or sort of a marriage of the microservices, MVC framework model, and the CMS. Capless is more of the frontend framework (ex. Wordpress) and Cappy is the backend framework (ex. Django).

Overall Goal

Build a framework that makes it easier to deploy large or small apps in a scalable way using microservices on a Functions as a Service platform (ex. AWS Lambda).

Micro Goals (smaller parts of the overall goal)

• Should be easy to scale each app (aka recipes) independently
• Recipes (plugins) should be easy to install and setup
• Multi-stage deployments should be simple
• Simple to run or invoke recipes locally for developmenet or sanity checks
