# What is Bref and serverless? – Bref

**[Community Picks](https://daily.dev/sources/community)** · 5 min read · 44 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Serverless architecture allows running applications without managing servers, offering automated scaling, cost efficiency, and reliability. Bref simplifies deploying PHP applications on AWS Lambda by providing tooling, PHP runtimes, and integration with frameworks like Laravel and Symfony. It covers use cases such as APIs, websites, and cron jobs, but may require code adjustments for legacy applications and isn't ideal for real-time apps due to possible latency.
