Cover of Laravel After Deploy: Architecture, Performance, and Operations at Scale, by Nuruzzaman Milon

Preface

Shipping a Laravel application is the easy part. The hard part starts after deploy: when a flash sale or a viral post turns usual traffic into a spike, when bots hammer your login endpoint, when a dependency you don’t control has a bad afternoon, when the same webhook arrives twice, when the on-call phone rings at 3 a.m. and the answer isn’t in the framework docs. This book is about that layer - the decisions that keep a real system fast, correct, and operable once it’s already in production.

Contents
