This talk aimed for GIS developers demonstrates two different capabilities of the Python API. First, we show how the apps module of the Python API can be to build elegant GIS web apps such as Dashboards and StoryMaps that can be deployed easily in your GIS. Next we demonstrate how light weight web APIs such as FAAS (AWS Lambda for instance) be built using the API. We finish by demonstrating how even complex applications such as models for deep learning inferencing can be deployed in this fashion.
