Key points include the transition from synchronous to asynchronous S3 processes, the impact of Amazon's SLO on write speed, and the significant runtime reduction achieved through JIT compilation in PHP 8.
We conclude with insights into decision-making in technology architecture, emphasising the balance between choosing cutting-edge technology and the existing skill set of the team.
