Talk: PHP & Serverless - A Match Made In Heaven?
PHP is arguably the most widely used language for writing web applications and is ideal for writing serverless apps. This session explores why PHP works so well in a serverless environment and how to write serverless PHP functions in Apache OpenWhisk.
We’ll explore how the common PHP architectural patterns apply directly to serverless, so the transition for PHP developers is easy and see that that PHP developers can easily make use of this exciting to technology to augment their applications. By the end of the talk, you’ll appreciate that PHP and serverless really do work well together.
