"This was just a weekend project for my own amusement but I will definitely add more features"
I'm late to the programming party, started at 38 now 43, and mostly regular sites (though I am working on a couple webapps at the moment), but comments like this make me feel like taking my toys and going home.
Nice work, can't wait to dig in and take a look at this both as a user and n00b dev. Congrats!
- CurleighBraces 9y ago;) This seems like magic at first glance but actually, it's not too much of a leap when you know how. In fact, there's a step by step guide on how to do something similar here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/scripting-languages-for-aws-lambda-running-php-ruby-and-go/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/scripting-languages-for... Hopefully, that'll give you some clues into understanding the magic behind this!
- is_true 9y agoDon't feel bad because of that. You are missing a key point, before doing this in a weekend OP probably spent at least a few months learning the technologies to make this happen.
- superasn 9y agoThanks for the kind words. There was a lot of trial and error involved I guess :) Also this was inspired by another project, so I can't take 100% credit. I don't know if I'm in a position to give advice to anyone, but if there is one thing I've learned about programming, it would be that the best and quickest way to learn something is by looking at other people's code. For creating lambdaphp this was super helpful too (esp the part about AWS roles and identity management) because even after reading their docs twice I couldn't figure out many things, but as soon as i saw code for it in another project on GitHub it was super easy to implement it in my own code too.
