PHP is arguably the most widely used language for writing web applications and is ideal for writing serverless applications too. This session explores PHP in a serverless environment where we’ll cover designing, building and deploying for serverless platforms. We’ll leverage the API gateway to turn incoming HTTP requests into events that trigger those serverless functions, creating robust APIs quickly and easily. By the end of the talk, you’ll appreciate that PHP and serverless really do work well together.
