offer a completely serverless component that we will look into in a future lesson. As for Redis, AWS offers a service called ElastiCache. It basically does the same as RDS. It handles a bunch of Redis instances for us and makes sure they are available whenever we need them. If you're overwhelmed with all this, don't worry. The Laravel team has a solution that allows us to glue all these AWS services together and deploy our application to the AWS serverless platform. It is called Laravel Vapor. You can think of it as Laravel Forge, but for serverless technology. Let's check it out. When we go to vapor.laravel.com, we can see in the landing page that Vapor not only handles the serverless compute part, but also helps us with managing databases, cache, queues, and cloud storage as well.

Once we log in, Vapor asks us to link our AWS account. Let's click on link AWS. And we are asked for the account name, access key ID, and secret access key. We will use Laracasts for the account name here.
