Traefik would be much better proxy if you are using container based dev. Also Please give litestar a try.

I’m not a fan of the complexity of containers or kubernetes. Everything I’ve built scales vertically on bare OS very nicely. Regarding litestar, if I wanted to do Python web development I’d use Starlette, which I really liked, but I’ll probably stick with nodejs and typescript from here for web applications.

  Great, so we just gotta "ship your bare OS" to prod. That's exactly what a container is for. Container is just a logical isolation tool that works at the distribution/deployment level.

    What’s wrong with shipping source code? Containers add huge complexity, for what?

      I think complexity can have multiple interpretations, especially in a fragmented discipline as software engineering. However, at least for me containers solves 3 main source of problems to shipping code in a current software environment: (1) somewhat consistency around runtime environment between production, development and homologation (2) a portable way to deliver software (just create the image) and (3) packaging between source code and runtime. I started my career at the late-2000s and at least in my experience the code itself was the least of issues because we needed to develop something in a environment to be delivered at a runtime in another, transfer the files via FTP or replace files with _.old and making sure that it would work in all places.

  K8s is complicated , but Docker (docker compose) solves a lot of problems especially when you are working with a team. Just 5-10 lines of YAML code in your docker-compose.yaml file and it gives you an local infrastructure of db , redis , node , python , nginx and many other things. Then you can share with anyone in your team , and it works on their machine too. Don't afraid of time saving tech. We had use nodejs/ts , but nothing meets DX of python , or Python + MyPy yet, and ecosystem is unmatched.
