AWS Lambda is meant to execute a task and then shutdown, it's not something that keeps running endlessly and is always ready to serve your user's requests.

So - think static website generators (GatsbyJs, NextJS, etc.) not LAMP. You can easily use Lambda to generate a set of static HTML files and then publish that to S3. In fact AWS has a whole tutorial on that
