Building a serverless PHP Laravel application using Laravel Vapor

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Codotto runs a Laravel backend deployed with Laravel Vapor and uses API Gateway to route requests into containerized handlers that invoke AWS Lambda for on-demand execution, RDS with a SQL proxy for the database, S3 for files and SQS for queues. The claim is that this setup scales to millions of requests per minute while cutting costs (team reports ~$80–100/month total), at the expense of harder debugging, 15-minute execution limits and vendor lock-in.
