Serverless PHP Applications

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

Claims: serverless costs nothing while idle except storage, has cold start latency, enforced time limits (typical <5 minutes), and requires external state. Tools actually used: Apache OpenWhisk, AWS Lambda with Bref and runtime layers (runtime layers arrive 2018), Serverless Framework, Composer, Docker local invoke with Xdebug, PostgreSQL, S3 + CloudFront, Guzzle and AWS SDK. Numbers and examples: Lambda starts 2014, photo site runs every 2 hours, an insurance case sends ~200,000 emails in 6 hours. Built and working: a four-action to-do backend and a 365 photo site that uploads HTML to S3 and invalidates CloudFront.
