I've been trying to work out if October runs well on Laravel Vapor - but there seems to be little information out there. The only post I could find is old and archived for no activity.

Has anyone successfully deployed on Laravel Vapor?

I can say that I have successfully deployed with AWS Lambda, however not with Vapor specifically. The main challenge is the read-only file system, so you need to mount an Elastic File System to handle the dynamic portions of the codebase.

I'm curious to learn more about your experience daftspunk, I'm seriously considering moving to AWS Lambda but I have no idea what the pros and cons would be, nor do I know how hard it would be to convert over. How does a severless environment affect October CMS?

I would love to share this as it is quite detailed and yet a very powerful result. The capability does not exist in the current version but will be added as part of a bigger update in the coming weeks

Many people will want to store the entire codebase in an attached NFS, however, this is not good for latency and creates a slow website

Instead, the core files are compiled to a lambda deployment, with only themes and storage being kept in an NFS. Since they are cached, it is as fast as any hosting providers, except it has the scaling benefits

A custom Lambda executable is needed for PHP to get the artisan commands and queues to work. This took several weeks to fine-tune

We will consider releasing this as some kind of educational package in the future, or even native support if there is a demand for it

I never heard the name of Laravel Vapour before, but I used Cloudways for my October CMS applications because, unlike other platforms, they provide the freedom to launch and manage applications from an easy-to-understand dashboard. It allows users to quickly set up the server resources including the storage size, memory, bandwidth, and location from the pre-built dashboard, giving users the ease to not dive into any technical difficulties.

For October CMS, the platform provides a pre-configured Composer that allows developers to easily install and run the CMS in minutes. Moreover, the Platform also provides several performance monitoring tools that help users to monitor the server/application performance regularly.
