Vue App with Lumen Passport API (Part I)

Yes, PHP is Worth Learning/Using in $CURRENT_YEAR
If you're concerned about frameworks perhaps being "overkill" for what you want to do with PHP, you'll be happy to hear that Symfony is a microframework out of the box (all components outside of the core framework are 100% optional), and Laravel also has a microframework variant called Lumen.

What is the best practice for sending and receiving data between HTML and PHP?
I would let a framework handle this for you. It can render your HTML views and handle the security for you. It’s been a while since I’ve coded PHP, but I used to love https://laravel.com and https://lumen.laravel.com

How does Treblle scale on AWS without breaking the bank?
During my research on how to make PHP run on Lambda I stumbled upon Bref at that time which was supposed to make that happen. I spent probably a month trying to get Laravel or any kind of a PHP application running on Lambda using Bref but I simply couldn't do it. There was always something: it was super slow and janky, cold starts were killing me, there were bugs and issues...It wasn't something I wanted to bet at that time.
