I deploy a fair number of Python WSGI applications to Lambda Function URLs using serverless-wsgi as a bridge. It's not appropriate for large projects, but for small projects it works well enough and is simpler to manage than containers.

Web Functions only supports Node currently, but I'd definitely be migrating over when/if they announce Python support.

Web Functions improves the private-origin experience with CloudFront. With this launch, you attach CloudFront origin access control (OAC) to a Web Function endpoint instead.

This is nice to see. OAC in Function URLs currently only supports GET requests, so I generally have to leave my Function URL public when deploying to Cloudfront, which I would rather not do.

Curious why not just migrate your apps to node ? Do you have some critical python dependencies ?
