Been writing PHP code since 2004 or so, but last I used Laravel in depth was 2014. It really hasn’t changed all _that_ much since then. That’s actually good to see since it means that not only is it very stable, but it hasn’t _needed_ to change much either.

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

Your post illustrates the importance of good initial design and a reasonable amount of planning. I started with Laravel in 2012 or so, and I have been able to accumulate my understanding of it over time rather than re-learn everything at major-release time. You are right to call this out as a beneficial property, a subtly important one to the health of all software ecosystems.

I came from Wordpress about 10+ years ago and switched to Laravel before getting into React, node and nextjs. Over 10 years later and I'm back to Laravel with livewire. Feels so much better. Easier to actually build things.

I'm trying to learn React for the front-end, but I'm unsure what to pick between Laravel and NextJS. What are your thoughts? The fact you cam serve the Laravel from a shared web hosting makes it appealing to me for a project I have on list, but is worth NextJS more attention? How capable is NextJS to handle the SQL database ?

Such an excellent Laravel tutorial and kudos. Glad to see SOMEONE out there on KZbin championing Php for the server-side open source wonder that it is instead of just using it as a stale throwaway punchline. Php ain't what it used to be, and it's powering 80% of the web still. Php just cannot be slept on any longer. Subscribed! 👍

[@michaelbrauner]

Firstly, I appreciate Aaron's deep dive into Laravel's features. The presentation was enlightening, and I can see why many developers find Laravel appealing because of the functionalities it offers right out of the box. However, I think it's important to note that a considerable part of Laravel's capability is built upon Symfony components. This isn't necessarily a negative aspect, but it's a point worth mentioning to give credit where it's due. Furthermore, while Laravel provides a lot of conveniences, I personally find Symfony's architecture to be more robust and flexible in the long run, which might not be immediately apparent to developers who are new to these frameworks. Lastly, I think it's worth acknowledging the tremendous work done by Symfony's developers, who have shown exceptional skill and dedication. While Laravel is quite adept at marketing their product, Symfony's team, in my opinion, could use a bit more recognition for their significant contributions to the PHP ecosystem. In the end, the choice between Laravel and Symfony will depend on the specific needs and preferences of each project and developer. Both frameworks have their strengths, and understanding these can help us make more informed decisions.

[@michaelbrauner]

@@choanlpoto I think anyone who is deeply good at Symfony wouldn't switch to Laravel - and when that happens, the reason is usually to secure a marketing advantage. I would never have noticed the documentation thing. In fact, I once took a year off from Symfony and looked at Laravel - one thing I really missed was the documentation. Nice to see you thinking outside the box though and thanks for your reply.

[@rodrigoavilela00]

Laravel isn't all perfect. From a developer perspective, it pushes changes way too frequently, making you fell like you're always falling behind. There's a cult around that it is perfect. Well it has it's own process which puts you far away from PHP itself. If you ever feel like you need to change, well, you're closed off to it. While it allows for fast prototyping and has a good DX, the ecosystem is very self-contained, forcing you to a certain way of thinking (Laravel way TM) and nothing else. Some might consider this a benefit, others a drawback. I have been on the two sides of the coin, now am in the latter as I feel constrained by the framework after creating apps with it for a while. I love how everyone in Laravel community pushes to say that Laravel Vapor is very simple. Experiment run an app through Vapor and needing support from them - 95% of the time they'll tell you it's a problem with your app, that they don't plan on supporting X and to fuck off and just pay. This to say, Laravel community is an echo chamber. Be careful and thoughtful. As for Laravel itself, great framework with lots of cool stuff out of the box, but all that can be done elsewhere too.

[@helix8847]

You could say this for any language or package and their cult followers. They all are built in a way that works best for the creator. Every language has downfalls and their perks.

[@JagdeepSinghKalsi]

I agree with you. Laravel isn't perfect at all. Laravel is an opinionated framework, and there are a lot of things in the ecosystem as well that are very much opinionated - as you mentioned "Laravel way TM" Enough rejected PRs have confirmed this. Does it stops me as a developer from overriding any functionality, in whatever manner I feel like? No. Does it forces me to update the framework whenever there is a change? No. Shall it reduce the frequency because most of the developers are unable to upgrade/catch-up? No. Haven't used Vapor myself, and I would agree to what you say about the experience, and yes, enough rejected PRs give a similar taste. At the end of the day, Laravel does helps me: - Get stuff done - Gives me option to upgrade to get new features and generic improvements [and almost always, I do that] - Write test cases in Pest [that's indeed a "Breeze"] - And a zillion other things And, it helps me become a better developer, by abstracting the stuff that I have been doing for over 17 years as a PHP developer, and allows me to help businesses that pay me to create awesome apps for them. And, as you said, the coin indeed has both sides, and we can compare the sides, or choose the one that works for us and makes our life as developers a bit better. Or we can flip the coin and have some fun along the way...

[@garffild]

BTW, to update the framework I use Laravel Shift service. It does all the stuff automated and with a nice atomic PRs for each update step. I find it very useful and simple. You can usually update the FW without writing a line of code. And the price it's very affordable.

[@moon.trance]

I used Laravel like 7-8 years ago for pet projects. And suddenly one of my projects became viral and my Laravel app faced "Reddit effect". I didn't know much about infrastructure/highload back then and Laravel couldn't handle it as well. If I remember everything correct, PHP needs to start new thread and interpret all of your files from scratch on every incoming request. I'm not sure if it's true these days, anyways you should really think about caching tools if you're planning to use Laravel as it's really really heavy. And benchmarks says things didn't really changed. I compared Laravel to NestJS and it's 20x times slower. Then I compared NestJS to Gin (golang framework) and it's 2 times slower.

[@nimitmaru]

PHP does indeed start a new process for each request in a traditional Apache setup, and this used to be a significant performance concern. However, with the adoption of PHP-FPM and OpCache, php's performance and efficiency have greatly improved. OpCache can cache the bytecode of PHP scripts, removing the need to recompile them on every request.Laravel IS considered a "heavy" framework compared to micro-frameworks in other languages. However, this "weight" comes with features and flexibility. It's true that laravel might not be the best choice for ultra-high-performance applications where every millisecond counts, but it is suitable for a tons of applications.

I did PHP development back in 2000, then switched to Java, Kotlin, Node, TypeScript, Python, etc. I got fed up with the JS ecosystem, and decided to dive back into PHP and Laravel in August. And I'm sooooooooooo pleasantly surprised. I've used MANY frameworks over the years, and Laravel is clearly on the very top of my list now. Spring is amazing in Java, but it doesn't do nearly as much as what Laravel does (fullstack!). In the Node ecosystem, Next.js is pretty cool, but it's unstable as hell, similar to the whole ecosystem. It's not mature at all. And I have been really deep down into some rabbit holes with the tooling, frameworks & al. Laravel is clearly top notch and mature in comparison. The closest I found before in nodeland was NestJS, which I covered in my book about TypeScript. The only thing I miss is type-safety. But there's certainly hope there for the future. I still need to dive into the code quality tooling (PHPStan & co).

I found it to be to difficult when you want to do something specific but seems like it has become easier with the framework. I am also thankful that end brackets is now automatically done for you as its a nightmare sorting throw syntax if you forget to end your syntax somewhere in the code. I may take a look at this framework.
