<i>&gt; Where normal web servers like Apache and Nginx have to sit idle 24&#x2F;7, waiting for new requests to come in, with Zappa, the server is created after the HTTP request comes in through API Gateway</i><p>To me, this sounds very much like reinventing the plain old CGI, just with different names (&quot;Web server&quot; -&gt; &quot;API Gateway&quot;, &quot;CGI script&quot; -&gt; &quot;server&quot;).<p>Am I missing something here?
