    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Nov 2023
    As you can see on the website (https://bref.sh/) there's 13 billion monthly AWS Lambda invocations using Bref (PHP).
  • Configuring OpenSSL 3 to sign an Apple Passbook?
    2 projects | /r/openssl | 4 Jul 2023
    I have a PHP application (running on Amazon Linux via Bref on Lambda) which has been signing Apple passbooks no problem. I've trying to do various upgrades which includes moving to AWS Linux 2023 which uses OpenSSL 3.

    Your best bet is to post an issue on https://github.com/brefphp/bref
  • Software architecture applied to PHP
    2 projects | /r/PHP | 3 Mar 2023
    multi threading php isnt a burden. laravel with a supervisor + redis + queues works out-of-the-box. you can even run it on lambda (vapor or bref.sh) with almost no hassle.
  • Project advice
    2 projects | /r/PHP | 16 Jan 2023
    To generate resource on AWS, you can use aws-sdk into a lambda. While Node or Python is more widely used, you can use PHP bref.sh and the PHP AWS SDK to achieve the same outcome. You'll want to use serverless framework (https://www.serverless.com) .
  • Ideas for minimum PHP pipeline for a small team
    7 projects | /r/PHP | 30 Dec 2022
    If you’re deploying in AWS and depending on your app I’d highly recommend using https://bref.sh/. When we changed it made our deploy pipeline so much simpler and our AWS bill much cheaper. Plus infrastructure as code is so useful (we don’t have dedicated dev ops in a team of about 20). Things like adding GD, upgrading PHP, or even adding a redis server become 1 (or a few) lines of change which you can PR and test on staging just like other code changes.
  • Is fargate the right choice for my apps?
    2 projects | /r/aws | 27 Dec 2022
    For Lambda, look into https://bref.sh/. For us, running on Lambda was always way cheaper than everything else. However, if you have massive scale that calculation may not hold up.
  • Datadog on AWS Lambda for PHP with Bref
    1 project | /r/PHP | 29 Oct 2022
    There's a lot to unpack here from your question. First off, PHP on Lambda WITHOUT docker is possible. Check out https://bref.sh. It works by providing PHP on Lambda like any other runtime. It also provides a Web Hosting experience for PHP on Lambda for those that want to run PHP-FPM.
  • Laravel Vapor, security information?
    2 projects | /r/laravel | 25 Oct 2022
    Failing that, looks like Bref will be the option in place of Vapor.
