    Cloudflare containers, CDK Telemetry, and Chasing the News

    Cloudflare containers in beta accommodate any language. AWS announces telemetry for the Cloud Development Kit in August. And, I ask how it came to be that I am chasing for news every week when there does not seem to be PHP serverless news going on, in any given week. It is with deep gratitude that I express my thanks to my intrepid sponsors of my PHP Serverless Project, of which this podcast is a part of: • Luke Galea: https://bit.ly/LukeGalea • Tolga Ercan: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/tolga-ercan Links: • Episode's web page: "https://phpserverlessnews.com/episode/php-serverless-news-ep14-cloudflare-containers,-cdk-telemetry,-and-chasing-the-news" • Project site: https://phpserverlessproject.com • Commentary podcast: https://bobbloomshow.com • News podcast: https://phpserverlessnews.com • Profiles podcast: https://phpserverlessprofiles.com • Interviews podcast: https://bobbloominterviews.com • YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@phpserverlessproject

    The New PHP Installer for PHP Extensions

    There is a new way of handling PHP extensions in the works. The pressure is on to get a release out sooner than later, because the current way is failing under the newer PHP 8 releases. The new PHP Installer for Extensions ("PIE") is under development, under the auspices of The PHP Foundation. PIE is a modern take on distributing and installing PHP extentions. With a big inspiration from Composer.

    PHP Foundation Officially Supports FrankenPHP

    In my opinion, something very profound just happened: the PHP Foundation announced that it is officially supporting FrankenPHP. IMO, this makes FrankenPHP the de facto standard for PHP application servers.

    Internal Scaling

    In this episode I talk about Spatie's Fork package, the Laravel Framework's recent concurrency Illuminate package, the recently accepted 'Add persistent curl share handles' PHP RFC, and Vercel's new Fluid product. A very special thank you to my first two intrepid supporters of my PHP Serverless Project, of which this podcast is a part of. Tolga Ercan and Luke Galea. It is not easy being first. Thank you for taking that very first leap! • Luke Galea: bit.ly/LukeGalea • Tolga Ercan: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/tolga-ercan Links for this show are at https://phpserverlessnews.com/episode/php-serverless-news-ep10-internal-scaling.

    Free and Open Source Authentication, Concurrency Injection

    The Serverless Framework is changing their licensing for version 4. Version 3 is approaching EoL. PHP devs using the Serverless Framework will have to decide what they want to do. I will have more to say about this in my upcoming Commentary podcast. Vercel's new in-function concurrency feature is very interesting.
