If you were looking for a way to easily deploy your Laravel project to AWS Lambda, you are in the correct place!
Building on the excellent bref project, we provide a simple and painless entry to the world of Serverless Laravel in AWS.
Assuming your are in existing Laravel project, let's install the bridge via Composer:
$ composer require stechstudio/laravel-bref-bridge
There is a route and AWS SAM template that needs to be published.
$ artisan vendor:publish --tag=bref-routes --tag=bref-sam-template
Edit .env
BREF_NAME="<my-lambdas-name>"
BREF_S3_BUCKET="<bucket-name>"
$ artisan vendor:publish --tag=bref-sam-template
$ artisan bref:config-sam
$ artisan vendor:publish --tag=bref-routes
$ mv routes/lambda.example.php routes/lambda.php
$ artisan bref:package
$ artisan bref:deploy
You will need an S3 bucket to send the Function Package to in order for Cloudformation to consume it. Either use an existing bucket, or create a new one. You can easily create a new one with the AWS CLI like this.
$ aws s3 mb s3://<bucket-name>
New edit your .env
file and add:
BREF_NAME="<my-lambdas-name>"
BREF_S3_BUCKET="<bucket-name>"
We will report the created default Job Queue after deployment. The Function will be configured to receive events from it as well as write to it. This means that when you dispatch a job to the default queue, it will trigger the same lambda function to handle the job.
$ artisan vendor:publish --tag=bref-sam-template
You will now find template.yml
in your base directory and you can open it up, review it, edit, or just ignore it for now. When you are done, lets run the configuration command. This will generate a final template based on your .env
file. If you modify anything in the .env
you should run this command again to update the template.
$ artisan bref:config-sam
What are lambda routes? Glad you asked! Many people only concern themselves with events from API Gateway and/or AWS SQS that trigger their Lambda Jobs. However, there are a whole slew of events that might be configured to trigger your lambda function.
We have a router implemented for Laravel that makes it trivial for your application to consume and react to events from multiple triggers, all in a single Lambda Function. We use the AWS Events Package to transform the incoming events into the appropriate PHP Object, and then determine what controller to send that event too.
All API Gateway Proxy Request Events are hardwired to be treated as any normal web request. The event will be transformed into an HTTP Request and passed off to PHP-FPM just like nginx or apache would. The result will then be transformed back into the appropriate API Gateway Proxy Response and sent back to the Gateway. All you have to do for this scenario is write your HTTP routes and controllers the same as you would for any traditional Laravel app and, if we did our job correctly, it should just work!
Apart from API Gateway, we currently support routing for all (sixteen) of the other possible events. If you are not using any other events, you can simply ignore this section. However, for those who venture beyond the API Gateway, lets publish the example routes file.
$ artisan vendor:publish --tag=bref-routes
This will result in a routes/lambda.example.php
being placed in your project. You will need to manually rename it to routes/lambda.php
before it will be used. When you look at it you will notice that it follows the same paradigm as the HTTP Routes. You may either map a callback or map a Lambda Controller.
The router will then ensure that when an event of the type you are routing shows up, it gets passed on to the appropriate callable
to handle the event. You simply need to return an array
when you are done. To help you with testing the routing of various events, here are some samples.

After you publish your package to lambda, you can head over to the AWS console to copy/paste the various samples here into the tests and run them manually. You could also do that from the AWS CLI if want to test from there.
We have made this as trivial as possible.
$ artisan bref:package
This will generate a storage/latest.zip
package of your current code. There will be no dev packages from composer, so if you want those packages you will need to move them into the required stanza.
$ artisan bref:deploy
After a few moments, the job will finish and you can head over to the AWS Console to check out your new Lambda Job.
That was it, Congratulations!
