Pare: Simple Serverless Python

Today we’re announcing the release of the Pare SDK & CLI as well as a managed platform for Pare endpoints, Pare Cloud. You can check them all out right now on GitHub - all the code is open source and MIT-licensed! For a limited time, Pare Cloud will be free to use for up to 50 deploys per user.

At Gauge we are working to solve the monolith/microservices dilemma, and while we believe there is a ton more to gain through modularity within a monolith using tools like Tach, we are excited to tackle the deployment complexity of migrating to services.

Pare is built to make the first step toward a service oriented architecture as easy as possible.

By focusing on the narrow use case of isolated, serverless Python functions, we can deliver the smoothest path for extracting the first service from a monolithic web application while delivering concrete value in performance and scalability.

The quickstart in the README is the best place to start. The general flow is:

• Install Pare
• Identify a Python function to extract to a Pare endpoint, and mark it with a decorator from the SDK
• Authenticate with GitHub to receive a Pare API key
• Deploy the function

And the function is immediately available on Pare Cloud!

For a production use case, advanced features like Atomic Deploys and environment variables are available as well.

If you are working on splitting a monolith into services, Pare is a great way to build momentum and capture easy wins. Book a time for a demo or hop into Discord to tell us about your use case!
