Chapter 18: Conclusion

In Chapter 18: Conclusion, we finalize the journey of “stack-native” development, where simplicity, flexibility, and cost-effective ownership are front and center. You’ve seen how to deploy Python apps using Docker, NGINX, container orchestration, and more, all on a single, powerful VM. This approach ensures minimal complexity, straightforward management, and maximum autonomy. Whether you adopt all these practices or adapt only a few, you now have the tools and confidence to run Python in production, without lock-in or unnecessary cloud-native overhead.
