Going serverless with PHP and Bref.sh
summary
Shows that PHP runs on AWS Lambda using Bref on AWS Lambda and the Serverless framework, migrates a Slim app (no sessions, logs to stderr, /tmp ephemeral) and actually deploys a Stripe payment system with a React front end. Front end goes to S3 + CloudFront (10–15 minute distribution propagation, cache invalidation needed), backend stores payments in DynamoDB for serverless storage and buffers webhooks with SQS for reliable processing; deployment creates ~11 resources, package ~13MB, timeouts 28s, and the demo both runs locally (Docker, DynamoDB Local) and deploys to AWS.
