Lambdas are shortcuts for writing functions (writing one-liner functions). It is great for quick prototyping and iterating, but since it is not serializable, it cannot be used in deployment and production.

Can anyone explain the bit about why lambdas are not serialisable? Some context about what exactly does the exported pickle file contain and why lambdas can’t be included in them would help. Thanks!
