This directory contains small examples of Fastly Compute services built with Python.

• Framework: Bottle (lightweight WSGI framework)
• Demonstrates: Basic routing, JSON responses, WIT API integration
• Use Case: Simple services, proof-of-concept applications

• Framework: Flask (popular Python web framework)
• Demonstrates: Flask routing, request handling, error handling
• Use Case: More complex applications, familiar Flask patterns

• Shows: A server-side implementation of Conway’s Game of Life, with a server round trip per frame.
• Demonstrates: Raw requests-per-second performance; Fastly's session-reuse feature, which saves spin-up time in busy services

This is actually a piece of the test harness; please ignore it.
