What is "SST" in this context? Is it this thing? https://sst.dev/ I'm having trouble understanding where PHP fits into this scenario. If your cloud backend is in PHP, can't you just host that anywhere, separate from your frontends? Where does the serverless come in? And which did you use? (There are so many out there now, from AWS Lambda to Cloudflare to Fastly, etc.) If you're not limited to AWS, Google's Cloud Run lets you containerize a PHP app and auto-scale it up and back down to zero in bursts, for example. It's not really serverless, just an auto-scaling VM that goes up and down as needed. edit: google cloud functions might be even closer: https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/create-deploy-http-p... |

Yes, that’s the correct SST. Yes, we could host our PHP anywhere and there are options like Cloud Run. We are on AWS and so I was talking about AWS Lambda but I understand that wasn’t clear at all.
The reason for wanting to use Lambda is for bursty/inconsistent workloads. We have EC2 servers that handle all our traffic right now but some are oversized to handle the peaks. There are parts of our system that we could easily offload to lambda to reduce the load on the main servers if we could easily run PHP in lambdas.
I’m going to take a look at the CDK example OP posted (sibling comment to yours) since SST is just a layer over CDK and you can reach down into CDK easily.
