Filament kept hitting capacity limits during launches. After migrating to Laravel Cloud, they saw 3x faster requests, autoscaling, and 4x smaller replicas.

Laravel's platform is a central hub for PHP developers, offering insights into web application development, PHP frameworks, and modern PHP practices. Through articles, tutorials, and community forums, Laravel offers insights into building robust and maintainable web applications, leveraging Laravel's features, and integrating with third-party services. Readers can learn about MVC architecture, RESTful API development, and database management to streamline their development workflows and create high-quality PHP applications.

Filament, one of the most popular open source Laravel packages with 23 million installs, migrated from Laravel Forge to Laravel Cloud and achieved 3x faster request speeds. The migration took just three hours and unlocked autoscaling, one-click Laravel Octane via FrankenPHP, Serverless Postgres, and managed Valkey caching. Day-to-day infrastructure shrank from an 8GB/8CPU server to 2GB replicas that scale up to 10 during traffic spikes and back down automatically. The serverless database also resolved a recurring issue where hourly demo data resets degraded live user experience. While Cloud costs are comparable or slightly higher, the capabilities gained — autoscaling, managed database, Octane, worker clusters — would have required managing at least 4x more servers on Forge.
