What is Laravel Development?

Laravel Development — explained without the jargon.

Laravel is one of the most productive web frameworks on earth — once you know it. The framework solves auth, queues, scheduling, mailing, caching, real-time, file storage and a dozen other things out of the box. That productivity is why we choose Laravel for most SaaS MVPs and internal tools where time-to-market matters. We've shipped 40+ Laravel applications and our team includes Laravel specialists who've been working in the ecosystem since version 5.

Why it matters

Three things most teams get wrong about laravel development.

Laravel is productivity

Auth, queues, scheduling, mail, storage, real-time — solved out of the box. You ship features faster.

PHP isn't dying

PHP runs 76% of the web. With Laravel + modern PHP (8.2+), it's as productive as Node and more battle-tested.

TDD pays off

Laravel's testing tools (Pest, PHPUnit, browser tests) make TDD practical. We do it.

What's included

Everything we ship under Laravel Development.

SaaS MVPs

Authentication, billing, multi-tenancy, RBAC, audit logs — the SaaS scaffolding we've built dozens of times.

API development

REST and GraphQL APIs with Laravel Sanctum / Passport. Versioned, documented, tested.

Internal tools / dashboards

Admin panels, CRM extensions, custom workflow tools, internal reporting dashboards.

Real-time features

Laravel Reverb, Pusher, WebSockets — chat, notifications, live updates.

Queue & job architecture

Laravel Horizon, Redis queues, scheduled jobs, retry strategies, dead-letter queues.

DevOps & deployment

Forge, Vapor, Envoyer, Docker, CI/CD with GitHub Actions.

Laravel Development · Case Study

B2B SaaS: Laravel MVP → $1.4M ARR in 14 months

A B2B SaaS founder needed an MVP in 14 weeks with multi-tenant architecture, Stripe billing, and a clean API. We built in Laravel 11 with Livewire for the dashboard and Sanctum-secured API for partner integrations. Multi-tenant via row-level scopes, billing via Laravel Cashier, deployment on Vapor. Shipped on time. 14 months later: $1.4M ARR.

FAQ

Questions you were going to ask anyway.

Laravel vs Node vs Django?

Laravel for productivity in monolithic apps with rich admin UIs. Node for real-time-heavy apps or JS-everywhere teams. Django for ML-adjacent products. We pick per project — they're all great tools.

Livewire vs Inertia vs separate React?

Livewire for full-stack PHP teams wanting React-like UX with less complexity. Inertia for teams that want Vue/React without separate API. Separate React/Next when front-end performance is critical or you need a public API anyway. Per project.

Can Laravel scale?

Yes — Laravel scales to millions of users with proper architecture. Vapor (serverless) and Octane (long-lived workers) extend this further. Real-world Laravel apps handle billions of requests/month.

Do you write tests?

Always. Feature tests for HTTP endpoints, browser tests for critical user flows, unit tests where logic is non-trivial. 80%+ coverage typical. Tests ship with code in every PR.

What about ongoing maintenance?

Most Laravel clients stay on retainer ($3K-$10K/mo) post-launch for feature work, security patching, framework upgrades (LTS to current), and on-call support.
