About this talk
This talk, presented at re:Invent 2018, explores the introduction of custom runtime support and Layers for Amazon's Lambda function-as-a-service. The speaker explains how developers can create their own PHP Lambda runtime without significant overhead, making the absence of an official PHP runtime less of an issue. Attendees will learn how Lambda custom runtimes function, how to build a PHP runtime, and how to utilize pre-built custom runtime layers for applications such as one-off job processing or serving web traffic through a load balancer or API Gateway, emphasizing infrastructure elasticity.
