Promising platforms that are not (yet) full rows below:

- [Phemeral](https://phemeral.dev/) — a Python-only PaaS ("where Python backends live") that links a GitHub repo, auto-detects the framework (Flask/Django/FastAPI), package manager, and dependencies (no Dockerfile), and deploys with auto-scaling and scale-to-zero; a [custom serverless orchestrator on fast-starting VMs aims to avoid first-request cold-start penalties](https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/551/stroll-down-startup-lane-2026). In early access, with managed serverless Postgres on the roadmap; no GPU, and pricing and runtime limits are not yet published.
- [Wasmer Edge](https://wasmer.io/pricing) — CPython 3.12 at the edge via WASIX, with [unmodified FastAPI/Django/Flask support since Sept 2025](https://wasmer.io/posts/python-on-the-edge-powered-by-webassembly); free Hobby tier (100 compute-hrs + 150 GB bandwidth/mo) and $10/mo Pro, but [runtime resource limits are undocumented](https://docs.wasmer.io/edge/architecture) and the company is very small.
- [Leapcell](https://leapcell.io/) — new platform billing per request + per compute-ms with [$0 when idle and Python (FastAPI/Django/Flask) support](https://docs.leapcell.io/); young and lightly documented.
- [Sevalla](https://sevalla.com/) — Kinsta's PaaS: per-second pod billing with [Hibernation scale-to-zero (8–20 s wake)](https://sevalla.com/blog/shipping-hibernation-in-3-days/); no ongoing free tier (one-time credit only).

Link directly to the Phemeral segment.

This URL opens the episode root rather than the Phemeral discussion, which starts around 01:00:04. Add the supported timestamp/anchor, or remove “Phemeral segment” from the label. (talkpython.fm)

Verify each finding against current code. Fix only still-valid issues, skip the
rest with a brief reason, keep changes minimal, and validate.

In `@README.md` at line 353, Update the Phemeral Talk Python link in the README to
point directly to the discussion beginning around 01:00:04 using the podcast
site's supported timestamp or anchor format; otherwise remove “Phemeral segment”
from the link label. Preserve the existing Phemeral and episode references.
