Laravel Forge

Laravel Forge

Simplify deployment and server management for modern apps

Website laravel.com
Overview

What it is

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

Intent

I need it when

Scale web applications automatically based on traffic without manually provisioning additional servers

Forge provides autoscaling that increases capacity under load and hibernates when idle, so users only pay for actual usage and avoid over-provisioning

Manage databases, workers, cache, and storage infrastructure as part of application deployment

Forge lets developers instantly add and configure databases, background job workers, caching layers, and file storage directly from the dashboard or CLI

Maintain full control over deployment infrastructure via both graphical and command-line interfaces

Forge offers dual control—full dashboard visibility for configuration and monitoring, plus CLI access for automation and scripting deployment workflows

Deploy Laravel applications from local development to production quickly without managing servers manually

Laravel Forge automates server provisioning, configuration, and deployment for Laravel apps, allowing developers to go from local to live in seconds via dashboard or CLI without manual infrastructure setup

Review code changes in production-like environments before deploying to main branch

Forge's preview environments integrate with GitHub Actions to create zero-risk staging deployments where teams and AI agents can test migrations and heavy changes safely

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs a fully managed serverless platform with zero infrastructure configuration—Laravel Forge requires server provisioning and management knowledge
  • User is building non-PHP applications or requires language-agnostic deployment—Forge is Laravel-specific
  • User has no experience with command-line interfaces or server administration—Forge assumes technical DevOps capability
  • User requires real-time application monitoring and error tracking as primary features—Forge focuses on deployment, not observability (Nightwatch handles monitoring)
  • User needs a free tier for hobby projects—Forge is a paid commercial service with no free option evident
