Laravel:ModernEnterprisePHP

This isn't 2005 PHP. Laravel is SOLID architecture, Eloquent ORM, Queues for async processing, and an ecosystem that rivals Rails. For backends that need to scale and maintain.

Why Laravel for Your Backend

Enterprise productivity, not PHP scripts.

Eloquent ORM
Queues & Jobs
API Resources
Integrated Testing (PHPUnit/Pest)
Sanctum / Passport (Auth)
Laravel Vapor (Serverless)

Enterprise MVC Architecture

Organized, maintainable, testable code

Laravel implements the MVC pattern with a "developer happiness" philosophy. Clear separation between business logic, presentation, and data access. Code your team can maintain for years without accumulating technical debt.

app/Services/OrderService.php
// Service Layer with Dependency Injection
class OrderService
{
public function __construct(
private OrderRepository $orders,
private PaymentGateway $payments
) {}
public function process(Order $order): void
{
DB::transaction(fn() => ...);
}
}
DDD Pattern
>80% Tests
✓ SOLID

Executive Summary

What you need to know to decide.

Typical ROI 2-4x in 18 months through reduced development time and maintenance
Reduces vendor dependency: PHP open source, flexible and economical hosting
Scope-based pricing: API/backend and complete SaaS options available
Ongoing maintenance plans tailored to project complexity
Main risk: outdated perception of PHP (mitigated with modern code and tests)
Ideal for: existing PHP teams, complex business logic, enterprise integrations

Summary for CTO / Technical Team

Architecture and implementation requirements.

PHP 8.2+ required, PHP 8.3 with JIT enabled recommended
Database: PostgreSQL (recommended) or MySQL 8.0+
Cache and queues: Redis mandatory for production
CI/CD: GitHub Actions + Laravel Forge/Vapor, zero-downtime deployment
Testing: target coverage >80% with Pest/PHPUnit
Monitoring: Laravel Telescope (dev), Sentry + Datadog (production)

Laravel + GEO: APIs That LLMs Cite

Backends optimized for the AI era.

In 2026, well-documented APIs are cited by LLMs as authoritative sources. Laravel facilitates automatic documentation with OpenAPI, structured JSON responses, and RESTful APIs that AI engines can consume and reference.

routes/api.php
// Auto-documented OpenAPI
Route::apiResource('products', ProductController::class)
->middleware(['throttle:api', 'auth:sanctum']);
// JSON:API Response
return ProductResource::collection($products)
->additional(['meta' => ['version' => 'v1']]);
Auto OpenAPI
✓ Rate Limit
Sanctum Auth

Is It Right for You?

Laravel is enterprise PHP. If you don't have a PHP team or hosting requirement, evaluate Node.js or Python.

Who it's for

  • Companies with existing PHP teams or PHP hosting requirements.
  • Projects with complex business logic (ERPs, CRMs, SaaS).
  • Organizations needing robust backend APIs for SPAs or mobile.
  • Startups valuing development speed without sacrificing architecture.
  • Internal management systems with complex workflows.

Who it's not for

  • Teams without PHP experience who would need to learn from scratch.
  • Projects where Node.js or Python already cover backend needs.
  • Static or content websites where a CMS is sufficient.
  • If ultra-high performance is critical (Go or Rust is better).
  • Simple microservices where serverless functions are more appropriate.

Our Laravel Approach

Architecture for projects that scale.

01

Domain-Driven Design

For complex projects, we structure code by business domains, not file type. Bounded contexts, aggregates, and domain services.

02

API-First Development

We design APIs before implementing them. OpenAPI spec, semantic versioning, rate limiting, and automatic documentation.

03

Comprehensive Testing

Pest for readable tests, factories for test data, external service mocking. Target coverage >80%. CI/CD with GitHub Actions.

04

Modern Infrastructure

Laravel Forge for dedicated servers, Laravel Vapor for serverless, or Docker/Kubernetes. Automated deployment with zero-downtime.

Development Process

From requirements to production.

01

Architecture & Design

Requirements analysis, database design, API definition (OpenAPI). Documented architecture decisions.

02

Core Development

Implementation of models, controllers, services. Testing parallel to development. Continuous code reviews.

03

Integrations

Connection with external services (payments, email, ERP). Queues for async processing. Monitoring with Laravel Telescope.

04

Deployment & Observability

Infrastructure configuration (Forge/Vapor/Docker). CI/CD pipelines. Logging, alerts, performance metrics.

Risks and Mitigation

Transparency about what can go wrong.

Outdated PHP Perception

Mitigation:

Modern code with PHP 8.3, strict types, SOLID architecture, and test coverage that demonstrates quality.

Laravel Ecosystem Dependency

Mitigation:

Abstractions in service layer, integration tests, and planned updates every 6 months.

Scalability Under Extreme Traffic

Mitigation:

Laravel Octane (Swoole), aggressive Redis caching, and Vapor for auto-scaling.

Inefficient Queries With Eloquent

Mitigation:

Eager loading training, query logging in development, and performance reviews.

Ideal Use Cases

Where Laravel shines.

REST/GraphQL APIs

Backends for SPAs, mobile apps, and third-parties. Sanctum, Passport, Lighthouse.

SaaS & Platforms

Multi-tenancy, Stripe billing, user management. Laravel Cashier, Jetstream.

Management Systems

Internal ERPs, CRMs, dashboards. Complex business logic well organized.

Enterprise Backend Experience

Since 2012 we've developed Laravel applications for companies that need robust and maintainable backends. APIs, SaaS, complex integrations.

Technical Questions

What CTOs ask.

Laravel or Node.js for APIs?

Depends on team and use case. Laravel is superior for complex business logic and PHP teams. Node.js is better for I/O-intensive and JavaScript teams.

Does Laravel scale?

Yes, with the right architecture. Laravel Octane (Swoole) handles thousands of requests/second. Laravel Vapor offers auto-scaling on AWS.

Is PHP still relevant in 2026?

PHP 8.x is a modern language with JIT, strict types, and excellent performance. 77% of server-side web uses PHP.

How do you handle security?

Laravel includes CSRF, XSS, SQL injection protection by default. We add dependency auditing, 2FA, rate limiting, and follow OWASP guidelines.

Can we integrate with our ERP/CRM?

Yes. Laravel facilitates integrations via REST API, SOAP, or direct legacy database connection. We use Queues for syncs.

What is the typical investment?

Medium API/Backend: €25,000-50,000. Complete SaaS: €60,000-120,000. Includes architecture, development, testing, CI/CD, and 3 months support.

Do you work with international companies?

Yes, we're a Laravel agency with 12+ years of experience. We work with clients across Europe and the Americas. Video conference meetings available.

What's the difference between Laravel Forge and Vapor?

Forge manages dedicated servers (DigitalOcean, AWS EC2) with full control. Vapor is serverless on AWS Lambda with auto-scaling. Vapor for variable traffic, Forge for control and predictable costs.
