PyleSoft migrated six Laravel applications from Laravel Vapor to Laravel Cloud, cutting infrastructure costs by 50% (from $11,000 to ~$5,500 monthly) while handling 1.5 million daily requests. Their hybrid Vapor-Forge setup struggled with long-running jobs exceeding Lambda's 15-minute timeout and required manual scaling. The 12-week migration involved solving static IP whitelisting, moving 300GB of data with mydumper/myloader, and addressing FTP connection issues. The team now saves 100-200 engineering hours annually, benefits from automatic scaling, and improved response times by ~150ms per request.
