PHP Serverless Project Updates

Going from zero to AI in a few weeks with my custom application for PHP Serverless News, that will help me expand my coverage significantly. Which has made my extended podcasting hiatus immensely worthwhile. I have formally closed down my CookingRuntimes.com, as I will not be maintaining production grade custom PHP runtimes for Lambda.

Taking a hiatus from podcasting to work on my new sponsorship site. I curated my own list of PHP podcasts and YouTube channels, and it is an interesting list. I looked into general podcast sponsorship and advertising for the first time, which was an eye opener. I am closing my CookingRuntimes.com website. I am building a new app for my News podcast, using the Laravel AI SDK.

2025 was supposed to be a year of smooth podcast production and publication. That is not how it turned out. I introduced a new podcast show. I had to build new features for my custom podcast platform to support my shows. I messed up my shows with overlapping formats. It settled down in the fall, with 2025 concluding on a high note.

Seeing a video of an integrated AI code generation and deployment platform, triggered a panic attack that AI did indeed make my PHP Serverless Project obsolete. I had examined this last month, in my Update podcast this very question, and my conclusion is the same. And, big progress with my PHP Serverless News and Profiles podcasts.
