How to Deploy Laravel to Production

Follow these simple steps to move your Laravel codebase from local development to a globally scaled production environment.

01

Connect Your GitHub / GitLab Repository

Link your repository. Deployxa automatically detects composer.json, selects PHP 8.3 runtime, and configures the public/ webroot directory.

git remote add deployxa https://git.deployxa.com/org/laravel-app.git
git push deployxa main
02

Provision Managed MySQL & Redis

Attach an isolated managed MySQL 8.0 database and Redis memory cluster in 1 click. Connection credentials automatically inject into environment variables.

deployxa db:create --type mysql --name laravel-db
deployxa redis:create --name laravel-cache
03

Automated Build, Cache & Migration Execution

Deployxa runs composer install with optimized class maps and triggers php artisan migrate --force without downtime during deployment rollouts.

php artisan config:cache && php artisan route:cache && php artisan migrate --force
04

Background Queue Workers & Cron Scheduler

Built-in supervisor daemons maintain persistent queue:work listeners and trigger artisan schedule:run every minute automatically.

php artisan queue:work --queue=high,default --tries=3

Production Architecture & Capabilities

FrankenPHP / Nginx FastCGI

High-throughput async execution with Caddy/FrankenPHP or optimized Nginx PHP-FPM.

Automated HTTPS / TLS 1.3

Let's Encrypt SSL certificates automatically provisioned and renewed for apex & custom domains.

Persistent Storage Symlinks

Zero-downtime atomic symlink switching with persistent storage/app/public mount preservation.

Redis Cache & Session Clustering

Sub-millisecond session persistence and cache tags acceleration.

Recommended Environment Variables

Variable Key Description Production Example
APP_ENV Application environment mode production
APP_KEY Encryption key generated by artisan key:generate base64:...
APP_DEBUG Disable detailed error pages in production false
DB_CONNECTION Database driver connection string mysql
DB_HOST Internal VPC hostname for managed database cluster mysql.internal

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Deployxa handle Laravel database migrations?

Deployxa provides zero-downtime deployments by executing `php artisan migrate --force` inside the isolated release container before switching the edge traffic router. If migrations fail, the deployment is aborted without impacting live user traffic.

Can I run Laravel Queue Workers (Horizon) and Crons?

Yes! Deployxa natively supports background worker processes and cron scheduler daemons. You can define queue listeners like `php artisan queue:work` or `php artisan horizon` in your `deployxa.json` manifest, and Deployxa will supervise their execution 24/7 with automatic restart policies.

How are storage files and symlinks managed in Laravel?

Deployxa attaches persistent NVMe block storage to `/storage` and automatically runs `php artisan storage:link` on every deploy. Uploaded user files and media assets remain safe across deployments and container rebuilds.

Does Deployxa support Laravel Octane with FrankenPHP or Swoole?

Yes! Deployxa features native first-class support for Laravel Octane using FrankenPHP or RoadRunner, providing up to 5x higher throughput and sub-10ms response times.
