How I Managed to Take My Laravel Application to the Serverless World (And How I Almost Died Trying)

Migrating a Laravel application to AWS Serverless offers benefits like automatic scalability, cost savings, and reduced maintenance.
Challenges include falling into the trap of overspending due to serverless magic and issues with running PHP on Lambda.
Bref serves as a bridge to run PHP on Lambda, while the Serverless Framework simplifies Lambda function setup.
Key adaptations for Laravel in a serverless environment include handling logs in CloudWatch, using S3 for file uploads, and moving session data to DynamoDB.
Bref's Laravel bridge package automates necessary adjustments, making the transition easier.
Installation steps involve setting up PHP, Composer, Node.js, and deploying the Laravel project with Bref and bref/laravel-bridge.
Optimizing for Lambda cold-starts involves keeping Lambda instances alive, reducing application size, using Laravel Octane, and monitoring metrics for performance improvements.
Considerations like changing the mindset for serverless development, costs optimization, and adaptation to serverless characteristics are crucial.
Lessons learned include redesigning processes for serverless, cost optimization strategies, and ongoing optimizations for performance.
Future steps involve further integration with services like DynamoDB, S3, SQS, and EventBridge in the next part of the journey to the serverless world.

The 9950X3D gives the gaming king a real run for its money

AMD's 9800X3D and 9950X3D CPUs are contenders for the best gaming CPU in 2025, with the 9950X3D being the more premium option.
The 9950X3D provides double the cores, thread support, more cache, higher clock speed, and TDP compared to the 9800X3D.
Despite its specifications, the 9950X3D does not offer a significant advantage in gaming over the 9800X3D, with both CPUs performing similarly in gaming tests.
In productivity tasks like video encoding and rendering, the 9950X3D's additional cores outperform the 9800X3D and even compete with Intel's 285K CPU.
The 9800X3D is recommended for pure gaming due to its comparable performance to the 9950X3D at a lower price point and greater availability.
For content creation and productivity workloads, the 9950X3D excels, but the slight advantages may not justify the higher cost for most users.
If seeking a CPU for both gaming and productivity, the 9950X3D is an excellent all-purpose choice but comes at a premium price.
Overall, the decision between the 9800X3D and 9950X3D depends on specific workload requirements and budget considerations.
