Simple and scalable PHP applications with serverless

Documentation
Symfony

A higher level stack

Creating and running modern and scalable PHP applications should be simpler. By using serverless technologies, like AWS Lambda, we can focus on development and worry less about servers.

Bref is an open source project that brings full support for PHP and its frameworks to AWS Lambda.

Getting started with serverless can be overwhelming. Bref integrates with the open-source Serverless Framework for configuration and deployment. We get the best of both world: powerful, yet simple.

On top of Serverless' documentation and ecosystem, Bref provides complete documentation and examples for PHP applications.

10 billion requests and jobs served using Bref every month

“Bref is excellent. We've been running a Laravel/PHP app with it since 2020 and it's currently handing over 160 million requests per month without a hiccup.”

Neil Morgan

“Bref has been a boon for running our customer's applications. We've had a Laravel API on Bref for the last 12 months serve over 25M requests with an average response time of 50ms.”

Direct support, aka Matthieu-as-a-Service

Provide your team with direct support from Matthieu, author of Bref, AWS Serverless Hero, and former Serverless Framework product manager.
Support covers Bref (including priority bugfixes), serverless, and AWS.

Self-hosted AWS Lambda runtimes

Runtimes provided by the open-source project are served from the Bref AWS account.
It works perfectly, but if your project or company policy requires full ownership of AWS Lambda runtimes, Bref Pro and Bref Enterprise help you publish the runtimes to your own AWS account.

Tailored and optimized runtimes

Bref Enterprise helps you optimize runtimes to your needs and comply with security standards and regulations.
