  SDK != Corp Policy You can't use PHP internally at Amazon. Downvotes and ignoring facts do not suddenly make my factual comment "untrue". See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23030330 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23030330

    Ion != Internal-only Amazon software. Many AWS services use it as an interface language. Many AWS customers use PHP.

    Now I'm confused, are you saying Amazon uses Hack internally which compiles to PHP? The Hack website doesn't have much info and I'm not familiar with it. There's clearly an Amazon Github repo for an an AWS SDK written in PHP, but you're adamant that Amazon does not use PHP at all. So which is it?

      They vend an AWS SDK in PHP for their customers, but they never run any internal software on PHP. The AWS SDK in PHP helps generate web requests to Amazon's services, most written in Java.

        They ran the internal wiki on PHP while I was there. Don’t know if it’s been upgraded since.
