# Bref Laravel Bridge

An advanced Laravel integration for Bref, including Octane support.
Run Laravel on AWS Lambda with [Bref](https://bref.sh/).

This project is largely based on code from [PHP Runtimes](https://github.com/php-runtime/runtime), [Laravel Vapor](https://github.com/laravel/vapor-core) and [Bref's Laravel Bridge](https://github.com/brefphp/laravel-bridge).
Read the [Bref documentation for Laravel](https://bref.sh/docs/frameworks/laravel.html) to get started.

## Background

Why does this exist and why not just use [Laravel Vapor](https://vapor.laravel.com)? Vapor is fantastic, easy to use and the better choice for situations, its $399/year pay for itself not having to maintain your own infrastructure.
This package was originally created by [CacheWerk](https://cachewerk.com/) (the creators of [Relay](https://relay.so)), maintained by [Till Kruss](https://github.com/tillkruss) and [George Boot](https://github.com/georgeboot). It was published at [cachewerk/bref-laravel-bridge](https://github.com/cachewerk/bref-laravel-bridge).

For [Relay](https://relay.so)'s API however we needed something that 1) **is open source** _(Vapor's API is a black box)_, 2) **is secure** _(Vapor has admin access to databases and environment variables)_ and 3) doesn't leave us at the **mercy of a support team** _(Vapor has no enterprise support)_. We also didn't want to be forced to use CloudFront on top of Cloudflare, but that's just nerdy preference.

We needed an open source solution that gives us more fine-grained control and is secure.

[Bref](https://bref.sh) + [Serverless Framework](https://www.serverless.com/) is exactly that, however Bref's Laravel integration is rather basic, it easily exposes SSM secrets and it doesn't support Laravel Octane.

So we built this.
For Bref 2.0, the contributors joined the Bref organization and the CacheWerk bridge was merged into this repository to create v2.0 of the bridge.
