What gets deployed

Behind the scenes, SST Laravel uses the SST Cluster + Service component, which deploys custom Docker containers to AWS Fargate. It all gets deployed on your own AWS account, and you have full control over the infrastructure and which services are connected to your application.

This package deploys a full-blown infrastructure in AWS, with zero downtime deployments, as you can see in the image below.

Behind the scenes, we use the powerful PHP containers from Serverside Up.

Why SST Laravel explains what this setup gives you: infrastructure as code, auto-scaling, linked AWS resources, and security without long-lived AWS keys.
