In order to deploy a Django project on AWS Lambdas you should prepare your AWS infrastructure. There is a list of AWS services I use for my Django project: Lambdas to run our wsgi application. API Gateway to handle HTTP request and send them to Lambdas.
Django websites can be deployed on any number of hosting providers. The first choice is deciding whether to use a Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) option or a virtual private server (VPS). A PaaS is an easier albeit more expensive option that can handle many deployment issues with minimal configuration.
Yes. I did that and it worked out quite fine. If you have any large files (a neural network in my case) you'll have to store them on s3 and load them after the lambda warms up, because there's a quite strict size limit for the project.
Here's a nice tutorial https://medium.com/@apcelent/how-to-deploy-django-app-on-aws-lambda-53e9c4b137e7
