How to run a zip? about hypercorn

Is this a common way of packaging things? I don't think I've seen it before. I tend to just run pip install -r requirements.txt in the docker image, as explained here.

Well, perhaps not that common after all. I guess in the end why I like zip archives and zipimport is that it's possible to make a reproducible snapshot of the repository (with a few flags to strip timestamps and ensuring canonical file order), thus a repo hash can be mapped to zip hash. But then again that's not all that different from an image layer hash (with similar provisions).

The rest is just like in your article, first there's Python base image, then there's a layer that contains all the dependencies, and finally there's a layer with app code.
