🙌
I'm journaling my thoughts and observations as an experienced PHP/Laravel developer trying out @brefphp for the first time. Thanks again to @twigpress and @LonghornPHP for the nudge to finally try this. joelclermont.com/post/2022-1…
Bref is 5 years old 🎉🎉
▸ 8 billion req/month served (70% yoy growth)
▸ 100k installs/mo
▸ 131 contributors
▸ 410 community members in slack
▸ v2 in the oven
So happy to welcome @CraftCMS as a new Bref sponsor ❤️
Just in time for Bref 1.5.8 which comes with PHP version upgrades.
Bref 1.5.0 is out 🎉
github.com/brefphp/bref/rele…
- support for "SQS partial batch failure" (new Lambda feature), to retry only failed jobs in a batch (see screenshot)
- better handling of Lambda timeouts

The Symfony-Bref bridge has been revamped as a Symfony Runtime 🎉
Also new feature: handle AWS Lambda events (e.g. SQS, S3, EventBridge…) directly via Symfony services!
Try out the beta version: github.com/brefphp/symfony-b…
A very cool "Built with Bref" submission: neural.love, enhancing videos using AI… and Bref :)
Bref docs now include examples on deploying:
- S3 buckets
- SQS queues
using the Serverless Lift plugin.
That should make the documentation more actionable, without requiring users to learn CloudFormation.
