Laravel Forge

Laravel Forge is a next-generation server management platform designed for developers seeking speed, control, and ease of use without the complexity of traditional DevOps. It simplifies the deployment and management of web applications by offering features like instant server provisioning (including Laravel VPS), zero-downtime deployments, and automated SSL certificates. Forge handles the setup of essential server stacks, including Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Postgres, and Redis, across various cloud providers or its own Laravel VPS. Built by the Laravel team, Forge supports a wide range of applications beyond just Laravel, including vanilla PHP, Nuxt, Next.js, WordPress, and Statamic. It provides a clean UI for productivity, allowing teams to move faster from code to production. Key features include scriptable deployments, automated database backups, hosted domains for testing, supervised queue workers, and scheduled tasks, all accessible via a command palette. Forge empowers developers to own their infrastructure with root access while abstracting away the intricate details of server configuration and maintenance. Laravel Forge is ideal for individual developers and teams who want to streamline their deployment workflows, reduce cognitive overhead in server management, and ensure high availability for their applications. It offers a cost-effective solution for provisioning and managing servers, with real-time monitoring and collaborative tools like a shared web terminal, making it a comprehensive platform for modern web development.
