I'm biased saying this, but Chalice is a half-baked rip-off of Zappa[0], deliberately nerfed by Amazon to lock you into the AWS stack.
If you want to see an example of how easy it is to use Zappa + Lambda + DyanamoDB, you can check out Zappa BitTorrent Tracker, which can use S3 or DynamoDB as a back-end.[1]
As a bonus, Zappa has had both local and remote environment variables as a feature for months - although it's pretty cool that this new announcement can use KMS, although that will of course mean more vendor-lock in if you choose to go that route.

- ranman 10y ago(I work for AWS) I've been livestreaming building a zappa app on twitch.tv/aws ! daysuntilreinvent.com is powered by zappa! I will say that chalice wasn't meant to copy zappa. Chalice and Zappa both started in Jan of 2016. Zappa has way more features and is a wonderful piece of software. One thing Chalice does well that I'd love to see in Zappa is automatically figuring out what kind of IAM policy/permissions you need by analyzing the code.
