In their own words
Laravel Vapor
Laravel Vapor is a serverless deployment platform for Laravel, powered by AWS Lambda. It supplies auto-scaling web and queue infrastructure and supports zero-downtime deployments and rollbacks. Vapor manages environment variables and secrets, as well as databases, Redis caches, SQS queues, networks, and CloudFront CDN. Application, database, and cache metrics are available, with alerts when performance is poor. Teams can manage custom domains and DNS, while Vapor handles certificate issuance and renewal. Documentation describes Slack notifications and Sentry integration, and teams can invite collaborators with permissions that restrict actions such as deleting databases or caches. Vapor uses CI/CD deployment and lists queue workers, managed databases, and staging environments. Applications must be compatible with PHP 7.3+ and Laravel 6.0+, and projects or resources require an active linked AWS account. Sandbox allows one project and 10 deployments, but excludes API Gateway versions, load balancers, firewalls, and custom domains. Unlimited Monthly costs $39 a month; AWS cloud costs are not included.
