Hi Dev,

We will cover an example of how to deploy a project using Laravel vapour in this article. I want to demonstrate a vapour setup project using Laravel. I gave a brief explanation of the Laravel Vapor Deploy web app. I'm going to use vapour to demonstrate laravel serverless aws. For the php laravel vapour aws setup, you will perform the following tasks.

Laravel introduce vapor for auto-scaling, serverless deployment platform for Laravel, powered by AWS Lambda. you can increase high traffic scalability using laravel vapor with AWS Lambda. Also Laravel Vapor provide domain management, Database Management, Environments Management, Queues, Storage, Networks, Cache, Logs etc.

composer require laravel/vapor-cli

if this command not works and you need to install dependency then you can use following command for dependency.

composer require laravel/vapor-cli  --update-with-dependencies

Now you can confirm if vapor cli installed currently or not.
