Building the MAMP stack (php, apache & mysql) on Apple Silicon ARM (native)

Update! This tutorial is outdated. Nowadays brew installes m1 binaries just fine. Also use valet: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/valet. It's 10x easier.

In this tutorial, we'll build the the nescessary packages for ARM via homebrew. After that we'll configure apache2 for using virtual hosts. The native php is ofcourse way faster, see the results of this benchmark below.

Setting up a WordPress site on AWS

This tutorial walks through setting up AWS infrastructure for WordPress, starting at creating an AWS account. We'll manually provision a single EC2 instance (i.e an AWS virtual machine) to run WordPress using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL.

This tutorial assumes you're relatively comfortable on the command line and editing system configuration files. It is intended for folks who want a high-level of control and understanding of their infrastructure. It will take about half an hour if you don't Google away at some point.

If you experience any difficulties or have any feedback, leave a comment. 🐬

Coming soon: I'll write another tutorial on a high availability setup for WordPress on AWS, including load-balancing multiple application servers in an auto-scaling group and utilizing RDS.
