Ask HN: What's the best and quickest way to build a basic web app for a novice?

I've been programming in Python and I would love to finally share something I made so others could easily use it.

It's a short Python script that takes in csv files and spits out a more optimized csv file.

What would be the best way to create a website that accepts csv files, runs my Python script, and then spits out the optimized file?

My friend recommended AWS Lambda.

I'm also wondering what front-end framework I should learn to build more complex things in the future. I'm looking for something that would be easy to learn and quick to deploy. I'm a huge fan of Fast.Ai's teaching method of chucking people in the deep end and learning by building.

My friend recommended Vue. Another HNer recommended plain javascript if possible. Another kind HNer recommended two courses on Angular and React.

Does anyone have recommendations or advice on courses/resources to get something up and running as quick as possible for noobs?
