About This Episode:
As your application matures, data aggregation and automation become critical.
In this episode of Pragmatic Laravel, we shift from raw survey responses to actionable insights by building daily statistics, dashboards, background jobs, and Artisan commands — all using real-world Laravel patterns.
This isn’t theory. This is how production Laravel apps evolve.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
- How to design and store daily aggregated survey statistics
- Building a survey dashboard with daily stats & detailed results
- Creating and running custom Artisan commands
- When to use jobs vs commands (and how they work together)
- Generating realistic fake data to test reporting workflows
- Wiring UI actions (like “Refresh”) to backend jobs
🛠 Hands-On Topics Covered:
- Daily Stats Table & Schema
- RecordSurveyStats Job
- Survey Dashboard Views
- Artisan Commands (php artisan make:command)
- Realistic survey result visualization
🧩 Why This Matters: Most tutorials stop at “saving data.”
This episode shows how to:
- Summarize data
- Automate insights
- Prepare for scheduling & reporting
- Build features users actually care about
This is the bridge between CRUD apps and real business software.
▶️ Up Next: Scheduling job using the Laravel Task Scheduler
💥 About the Series:
Pragmatic Laravel focuses on building real applications with Laravel — emphasizing clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful design decisions instead of shortcuts or magic.
