Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save on AWS costs for PHP applications?

Most PHP applications can achieve 40-70% cost reduction through right-sizing instances, using Savings Plans or Reserved Instances, implementing auto-scaling, and optimizing database configurations.

Should I use serverless (Lambda) for my Laravel application?

Serverless is ideal for variable workloads, APIs, and applications with unpredictable traffic. Laravel Vapor makes serverless deployment straightforward. For consistent high-traffic applications, traditional EC2 or containers might be more cost-effective.

What AWS services are essential for PHP applications?

Core services include EC2 or Lambda for compute, RDS or Aurora for databases, S3 for storage, ElastiCache for caching, CloudFront for CDN, and SQS for queues.
