PHP on Lambda with Custom Runtimes
summary
Shows how to run real PHP on AWS Lambda by building a custom runtime: compiled PHP on Amazon Linux 2 packaged as a Lambda layer or built into a container image, using the Lambda runtime API and optionally the runtime interface emulator. Demonstrates an actual service that takes email via SES -> S3 -> Lambda email round trip, randomly capitalizes the body and replies, and exposes the same handler over function URLs cheaper than API Gateway. Covers memory/CPU tradeoffs, cold vs warm starts, and that bref/serverless simplifies production.
