Installation

1. Install the CLI tool.

npm install -g serphperless

2. Configure your credentials

For now, serphperless only supports OpenWhisk as a target. OpenWhisk is an open-source, multi-language, scallable function platform, backed by the Apache fundation. You can install OpenWhisk on your infrastructure but we definitely recommend IBM Cloud Functions that is a managed OpenWhisk. You don't even need a credit card to use up to 400,000 GB-seconds for free every month.

1. Sign up for your free account on IBM Cloud
2. Authenticate against IBM Cloud with IBM's wsk command line tool

wsk bluemix login

1. Export the following environment variables (the values should be generated in the .wskprops file)

export OW_APIHOST=openwhisk.eu-gb.bluemix.net
export OW_AUTH=37bc78ae-[...]

export APIGW_ACCESS_TOKEN=ey[...]

Usage

Within your application folder, run the following command:

serphperless deploy

How it works

In the given order, serphperless will:

1. Ensure the Serverless framework is installed in your project.
2. Create the Symfony configuration for Serverless if it do not exists
3. Run the deployment with the Serverless framework
