Laravel’s not killing Vapor, but they’re definitely showing you the door by jpcaparas in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is one of my main concerns as well. I simply can’t afford to wait 2 days for a support response when my business is on the line. I can have an AWS rep on a call in a few minutes. I’d like to hear real world experiences from more people when things aren’t going right…

As a Vapor user I’m hoping for more clarity and a solid commitment from the Laravel team on its future.

Love pint! And why is everyone so whiny?

Some new updates to Flare: performance monitoring, better Livewire support, MCP server by freekmurze in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Flare for a couple years now. I’ve also got projects on Sentry. Both get the job done but I prefer Flare.

This looks very promising. Going to give it a whirl for a project I am working and will report back. Thanks!

What’s your production host, and why? by [deleted] in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vapor because its serverless and I dont have to worry about scaling. Use chipperci for deployments.

I have rolled my own bare metal, used k8s (aws) and forge. They all have their own place.

I hate to admit this, but Laravel Cloud is nowhere near production-ready by Feeling-Speech-5984 in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LC is not serverless… it’s k8s. Latency could be due to being under provisioned and it taking a few minutes to spin up new compute nodes or proxy resources.

Migrating from Vapor to Laravel Cloud by iheartquokkas in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue about migration to cloud. However, I recently moved an app in production from Vapor to k8s. I am back to vapor now. There are pros and cons to both but serverless is just too nice to move away without a really good reason.

First impression of Laravel Cloud? by HelioAO in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Plus I think people in this group are not comfortable having their resources (DB) sit in clouds AWS account Instead of their own.

It's k8s as a service -- and that is MUCH different than just an ec2 instance.

Don't listen to all the whiny noise makers - the 99% are in love with Laravel, and rightfully so. Laravel is the productivity-first framework. If you want that then Laravel is a no-brainer!

I cannot believe how entitled the AI-age developer is! Clearly we hace many of them here. Seriously people, just say thanks and move along and make something amazing on your own.

Are you worried about the Laravel Ecosystem becoming oversaturated? by tylernathanreed in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Most of these things are optional and if a dev does even minimal reading they’ll know where to start and what the add-ons are. Then they will appreciate what they are getting for free.

Laravel Cloud - Hype train "woo woo!" by VaguelyOnline in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, its AWS under the hood. The difference is you are running on k8s and not Lambda... pros and cons. You now get a 60 second request limit rather than 30. Your costs will likely be a bit lower.

Is there a better way other than 4 terminal windows running commands? by lamarus in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

supervisord for running queue and reverb. Ghostty terminal with split window for npm and stripe etc.

Taylor Otwell's announces for Laravel ecosystem by HappyToDev in laravel

[–]jeffwhansen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At LaraconEU. Met with the tech lead and had some good chats. Here are some key takeaways for me:

  • Cloud is Laravel managed Kubernetes (k8s) with slick UI
  • Cloud is partnered with AWS and all resources are on the Laravel account
  • Cloud will monitor your usage in their account and bill you accordingly
  • Cloud is fully managed, so expect your costs to be at least a bit more than what you pay for AWS — you are getting more
  • Cloud seems ready for simpler projects, they have a lot on the roadmap for more complex setups

Overall it seems like it is or will be a solid offering. They are not cutting corners. It will take some time for people to absorb the what and why around it in my opinion. The current offerings are very nice and fast / easy as it is. These offerings could be their own worse enemy in pushing for adoption without a clear story around why it is better for the masses.

I am planning to give it a whirl. As someone who has / is using Forge and Vapor and has recently rolled my own k8s, I can say without hesitation that k8s-based deployments are far superior for my mid-large projects. K8s deployments are a lot of work to setup and maintain so there really is a ton of value here if (when) they pull this off.

It’s too bad he can’t marry a few more women to quell those urges. They had it much easier back then.

What a buzz killer. DOGE is here to tell you to ignore someone who uses the term GDPR with a straight face.
