Your last line does not need to be done in PHP at all.

Not sure you have any special requirements that dictate what stack you should be using. Such as scaling for multiple regions. If that is the case, then any stack you pick should be sufficient at getting the job done. I would recommend you implement it the best way you know how, and right now...
