Can we start Zappa instances, instead of Docker containers? #101

Closed mccalluc closed 6 years ago

Looked into this: Zappa prioritizes quick start up, and this means it takes some time to build the image to deploy, particularly if multiple dependencies are involved. Docker makes a different trade-off: Development is easy, but start up might be slow if all the layers of the image aren't already cached.

So, it's interesting, and it could work, but it would make developing images more difficult, and would take us in a really different direction.
