Bref is an open-source PHP framework and toolset for deploying and running PHP applications on AWS Lambda. It provides custom PHP runtimes (PHP-FPM, function, and console runtimes), Lambda layers, and documentation for running frameworks like Laravel and Symfony serverlessly.

Use cases

• deploy a Laravel app to AWS Lambda
• run PHP websites serverlessly on AWS
• run PHP cron tasks on Lambda
• process SQS queue jobs with PHP
• handle S3 file processing events in PHP
• run Symfony applications on serverless infrastructure
• process Kafka or Kinesis events with PHP

When to choose

• you want to run PHP web applications or APIs on AWS Lambda
• you use Laravel or Symfony and want serverless deployment
• you want event-driven PHP functions for SQS, S3, EventBridge, or WebSockets
• you want to reduce infrastructure management and scale automatically

When to avoid

• you deploy outside AWS or need multi-cloud portability
• you need long-running processes or persistent connections
• your team prefers traditional server or container hosting
• cold start latency is unacceptable for your workload
