10:39 "But sometimes, unfortunately, we have a UI" Found that pretty funny 😅 Great video, i never heard about these permissions services but you explained very well how they can be useful for larger apps

Thank you for sharing! 👏 I’d love to see more Laravel videos like this in 2025. While I have experience developing apps with Laravel, your videos can help me refine my implementation, especially regarding best practices and performance optimization. I recently built a fintech platform using Laravel that now handles over 100,000 users performing transactions daily. As the platform grows, occasional spikes in transaction traffic sometimes cause system slowdowns and even hanging. It would be fantastic if you could make a video on improving performance in Laravel applications, especially for high-traffic systems. Insights into scaling, optimizing database queries, caching, and other performance strategies would be incredibly helpful!

I really like this approach compared to an offering from a multi gazillion dollar company. Having said that, I think you should have focused so much more on the myriad downsides for the 99% of apps that will never see the microservice stage. The most obvious - and in my opinion conversation ending - point is that it becomes virtually impossible to test your roles and permissions through PHPUnit tests. You'll have to end up doing `Permit::fake()` to allow the test through every time, or alternatively spend lots of time setting up seeding for a test environment. Not to mention transfering that process to CI, all your devs local environments and so on. For most teams, the ability to test your roles and permissions in a steamlined manner way outweighs any performance benefits this gives over a local package tbh.

[@JustSteveKing]

@@mrspooky497 these are definitely some good arguments, and I'd love to have an exact answer back! Unfortunately though in this situation, I'd only ever test roles and permissions with feature or integration tests that I expect to take a little longer.

[@mrspooky497]

​@@JustSteveKing It's not so much the execution time that worries me. For me the concern is having to run and seed the PDP image in local dev & CI. I checked their docs and they do seem to have well though out instructions for testing and CI, but predictably lots of devops. Another note is that prospective users of their hosted offerings should be careful with that jurisdiction 👀
