Mangum is a Python adapter that runs ASGI applications (FastAPI, Starlette, Quart, Django, etc.) inside AWS Lambda. It translates API Gateway, ALB, Function URL, and Lambda@Edge events into ASGI requests and responses.

Use cases

deploy a fastapi app to aws lambda
run asgi application on api gateway
serve starlette app via lambda function url
wrap django app for aws lambda handler
handle alb and lambda@edge events with asgi app
add gzip compression to api gateway responses

When to choose

you have an existing ASGI app and want to deploy it serverlessly on AWS Lambda
you need API Gateway, ALB, Function URL, or Lambda@Edge event handling
you want lifespan event support and binary media/compression in Lambda

When to avoid

you deploy on a traditional server or container rather than AWS Lambda
you use a non-ASGI framework like Flask or WSGI apps
you need other cloud providers' serverless platforms (e.g. Azure, GCP)
