Laravel 4's modularity is awesome. With the Eloquent ORM, built-in unit testing, environments, Composer, bundles/packages... it feels like Rails for PHP. The community is super friendly and growing fast. Just watch the stars on Github go up day by day! Things are looking up for PHP.

Unlearn established php coding patterns, forget established framework mechanics, enjoy being forced to learn laravel-only patterns. Stop being able to use a debugger or read code, because everything is a facade (an empty class). Dive into many extra features with some not being production ready (oc-segfault-tane). See battle-hardend php-packages being replaced by laravel rewrites. Enjoy many utility applications for laravel, most only for macos.

The systemd of php.

Rocks! Clean code. Perfect MVC pattern and so on. You name it you have it.

What is Laravel?

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.

Write code for the joy of it.

Laravel values beauty. We love clean code just as much as you do. Simple, elegant syntax puts amazing functionality at your fingertips. Every feature has been thoughtfully considered to provide a wonderful developer experience.

One Framework, Many Flavors

Build robust, full-stack applications in PHP using Laravel and Livewire. Love JavaScript? Build a monolithic React or Vue driven frontend by pairing Laravel with Inertia.

Or, let Laravel serve as a robust backend API for your Next.js application, mobile application, or other frontend. Either way, our starter kits will have you productive in minutes.

Everything you need to be amazing.

Out of the box, Laravel has elegant solutions for the common features needed by all modern web applications. It's time to start building amazing applications and stop wasting time searching for packages and reinventing the wheel.

Move fast… with confidence.

Laravel is committed to delivering the best testing experience you can imagine. No more brittle tests that are a nightmare to maintain. Beautiful testing APIs, database seeding, and painless browser testing let you ship with confidence.

Enterprise scale without the enterprise complexity.

Our vast library of meticulously maintained packages means you're ready for anything. Let Laravel Octane supercharge your application's performance, and experience infinite scale on Laravel Vapor, our serverless deployment platform powered by AWS Lambda.
