About This Episode:
Deployment is where great code meets reality.
In this episode of the Pragmatic Laravel series, we step back from writing features and look at what it actually takes to run a Laravel application in production—reliably, securely, and with confidence.
This isn’t a step-by-step hosting tutorial. It’s a big-picture, practical guide to thinking about deployment the right way.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
🖥 Deployment Lifecycle
1. Acquire Servers
2. Networking & security
3. Provisioning Environments
4. Deploying Code & Data
5. Configuration & Secrets
6. Monitoring & Observability
🏗 Deployment Architectures
- Single-tier setups
- Multi-tier architectures
- Highly-available systems
⚙️ Automation & Repeatability
- Infrastructure as Code
- Provisioning & deployment scripts
- CI/CD pipelines
- Tools like Ansible, Laravel Forge, & Envoyer
☁️ Managed Services
- When convenience beats control
- Choosing services intentionally
- Platforms like Fly.io & Laravel Cloud
📊 Monitoring & Visibility
- Laravel Horizon & Pulse
- Nightwatch
- Sentry, Posthog, UptimeRobot
🎯 Who This Is For
- Developers ready to ship real applications
- Laravel devs moving beyond localhost
- Anyone who wants to understand deployment—not fear it
💥 About the Series:
Pragmatic Laravel focuses on building real applications with Laravel — emphasizing clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful design decisions instead of shortcuts or magic.
