If anyone reading this picked Python for your AWS Lambda runtime, do you mind telling why? I would love to hear your rationale as I'm sure I'm missing an important take.

Libraries and code reuse. Python has libraries for everything, and we have written a whole host of Python libraries of our own. We know how to do what we want to do in Python and many of our lambda functions started their life in either python CLI scripts or as part of a Flask app. "Copy pasting" working code into AWS Lambda is much quicker and easier than rewriting in Node or Go.

If we're 'moving' to anything it would be moving some functions to C(++)
