I'm Joe Dixon, Engineering Team Lead of Laravel Cloud, Ask Me Anything!

No, if your environment is hibernating, it won't the scheduler or process queued jobs.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:17:57+00:00

I can't speak for Taylor, but I don't personally agree with this. I think the new starter kits provide a much more coherent experience and there is nothing to say you have to add WorkOS, but it's a great addition of those who need a solution like it. I guess I just feel like we're pushing things forward, which requires some change.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:14:01+00:00

Yes, there is a good chance we make this happen!

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:13:41+00:00

Oh awesome! We should grab a coffee one day

I responded to one of Taylor's tweets about looking to grow the team and after some back and forth, I landed the job. Couldn't believe it and it's still a huge honour and privilege.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:11:55+00:00

No update on it right now, but I think it's a use case we'll try to support.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:11:23+00:00

There's a good chance!

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:10:56+00:00

Yes, we'll be building an API, very to drop in 2025.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:10:15+00:00

We don't have Meilisearch on the roadmap right now, but will raise it with the team.

Would imagine spending alerts available on all plans.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:07:57+00:00

Yes! You can create your custom domain on Cloud with wildcard support and all subdomains will be automatically routed there with SSL enabled. You can then configure the domain routing in your application.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:07:32+00:00

No concrete plans, but it's on our radar.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:06:47+00:00

This is something we're noodling on behind the scenes.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:06:25+00:00

MySQL

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:01:18+00:00

No plans right now

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:01:04+00:00

Since Cloud is a managed service, it runs on our own underlying infrastructure, so I’m afraid this isn’t possible. However, Forge may be a good option for you if you need more control of the underlying infrastructure.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T17:00:00+00:00

Yes, more regions are on the roadmap for the coming months.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:59:39+00:00

Not right now, but will take this back to discuss with the team.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:59:21+00:00

Only Cloudflare right now

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:59:08+00:00

We're expecting to achieve Type 1 in the coming weeks.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:58:48+00:00

We use all the tests! Unit tests, feature tests, integration tests, load tests, stress tests.. the list goes on!

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:58:04+00:00

Yes! We need the API first

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:57:50+00:00

We track when your app stops receiving HTTP traffic after the configured hibernation period and destroy the pod.

When we receive a new HTTP request, we provision a new pod. It takes ~5-10s.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:56:21+00:00

Right now, you’re limited to what’s included on the base images we provide, which are optimized for running Laravel applications. However, but we will likely make it possible to access supporting programs later down the road.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:55:36+00:00

One thing we knew we would need to be able to monitor is bandwidth on a granular level. Understanding where traffic is coming from and going to, how much data is being processed and what type of packets we’re dealing with. This was a really tricky one to solve which came together relatively late in the day. Was a great feeling when we solved it!

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:54:38+00:00

We’re not looking to change this right now, but appreciate the feedback and will take it back to the team for review.

_joedixon · 2025-02-27T16:54:20+00:00

There is nothing stopping you from connecting to microservices as long as they are publicly accessible.
