FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

What Sidecar Does

Sidecar packages, creates, deploys, and executes Lambda functions from your Laravel application.

You can write functions in any of the following runtimes and execute them straight from PHP:

Any runtime that Lambda supports, you can use!

Sidecar is maintained by Aaron Francis, go follow me on Twitter!

What It Looks Like

Every Sidecar Function requires two things:

For example, if we were wanting to use Node on Lambda to generate an og:image for all of our blog posts, we would first set up a simple class in PHP called OgImage.

App\Sidecar\OgImage.php

That's it! There are a lot more options, but that's all that is required.

The second thing you'd need is your function's "handler", in this case a javascript file.

Here's a simple JS file that could serve as our handler:

resources/lambda/image.js

With those files created, you can deploy this function to Lambda:

And then execute it straight from your Laravel app!

web.php

Sidecar passes the payload from execute over to your Javascript function. Your Javascript function generates an image and sends it back to PHP.

Sidecar reduces the complexity of deploying small bits of code to Lambda.

Why Sidecar Exists

AWS Lambda is a powerful service that allows you to run code without provisioning or thinking about servers.

Laravel Vapor brought that power to Laravel. Using Vapor, you can run your plain ol' Laravel apps on a serverless platform and get incredible speed, security, and reliability.

Using Lambda through Vapor is a wonderful developer experience, but there are times when building your applications that you need to run just one or two Node functions for some reason. Common use cases could be taking screenshots with headless Chrome, generating images, or doing server-side rendering of your Javascript frontend.

Or maybe you want to run a Python script without configuring a server? Or a single Ruby script. Or even Java!

When running on a serverless platform, it's not quite as easy as installing Node and running your functions. You don't have access to the server! So you end up deploying a single Vercel or Netlify function and calling it over HTTP or just forgetting the thing altogether.

Sidecar brings the ease of Vapor to those non-PHP functions.

What Sidecar Doesn't Do

Sidecar does not handle any API Gateway, Databases, Caches, etc. The only thing Sidecar concerns itself with is packaging, creating, deploying, and executing Lambda functions.

Sidecar does not provide a way to execute a function via HTTP. You must execute it from your Laravel app through the provided methods.

If you need those other services, you are encouraged to use the instances that Vapor has set up for you, or set them up yourself.
