I've been elbow deep in PHP for well over a decade, and I was genuinely surprised when I first saw this on Twitter. (Insert swaggy p meme here)

I have immense respect for the author, but I'm perplexed about the decision to build a bank on this stack.

Especially considering that the person who created Laravel Vapor (a serverless Laravel service) has since discussed the advantages of moving a large project from Lambda to EC2 (https://twitter.com/themsaid/status/1716844479817154589).

I really do wonder what the bullet points of pros/cons in choosing to go serverless for something like this were.

That's for a large, fairly consistently loaded project.

For a smaller site with bursty traffic, Lambda may be very relevant still.
