Part of the problem is that the hobbyist market is overwhelmingly PHP, which Lambda doesn't support natively.

- colinbartlett 6y agoI’d be curious to see the data behind that claim that the hobbyist market is overwhelmingly PHP. I must not have any exposure to that ecosystem because PHP does not come to mind when I think of hobbyist development.
- lhorie 6y agoMaybe not hobbyists, but wordpress alone powers like a a third of the web.
- robertlagrant 6y agoSure, but Wordpress is nothing to do with PHP lambdas.
- lhorie 6y agoYes, that's kind of my point :)

- rupertdev 6y agois it, though? Every person I know with side projects writes them in either nodejs/ + react/vue or django/flask + react/vue/templates
- spyridonas 6y agoIn my workplace our main product is written in PHP. Still we have a bunch of Lambda functions written in node we use all the time
- ceejayoz 6y agoNot natively, but fairly easily. We’re using Laravel Vapor - it handles all the setup and deployment of Lambda bundles that include the app code and a PHP runtime. Smooth and fast so far.
- lostcolony 6y agoYeah; I'd imagine anyone technically savvy enough to use Lambda + API Gateway, in any form, is savvy enough to bundle PHP if they really want to use it. And if they're not savvy enough to do that, they're probably using hosted Wordpress somewhere and it's a moot point.
