Building PHP applications with AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud services platform, offering compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. Building on AWS reduces the time and effort spent on undifferentiated heavy lifting, so you can focus on the core strengths of your product.

In this talk we take a look at some of the managed services that AWS offers, and how you can integrate them into your php application. The focus will be on the services that are most commonly needed in a web application (data storage, e-mail, queueing) and that do not require your server to be inside the AWS Cloud.
