@Daniel Naab's answer, as well as the doc in the official site, is not for executing management commands as an entrypoint.

When you want to use a management command as the entrypoint in managed cloud environment like AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions, you can take a look at manage.py and try something similar.

import os
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

def publishing_fn(data, context):
    os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'YOURAPP.settings')
    # The first argument is "manage.py" when it's run from CLI.
    # It can be an empty string in this case
    execute_from_command_line(['', 'COMMAND', 'ARGS...'])
