Yeah, while it in some regards is nice having multiple small deployments of our python app than can be scaled up and down independently, it's sometimes such an hurdle to something "extra" in a smaller app. Have a simple webserver and want to do some things out of band? In jvm I would use a concurrent queue and add tasks to it, and spin up some threads consuming that. In python you either spin up a new process and deal with the communication problems, become a master of greenlet and python internals, or most likely default to celery which need it's own deployment.
It sometimes boggles my mind how python is considered the quick and easy way for startups, while at the same time doing trivial things become such a hurdle.
