Laravel BackendElegant PHP backends shipped fast
Laravel lets us move quickly without compromising on quality. We build REST APIs, admin panels, and full-stack applications using Laravel's rich ecosystem — queues, events, broadcasting, and more.
Laravel is the most popular PHP framework, known for its elegant syntax and developer-first philosophy. It provides a complete toolkit out of the box — routing, ORM, queues, events, broadcasting, and authentication — so you can ship production-ready applications fast. At A Major, we leverage Laravel's rich ecosystem to build REST APIs, admin panels, SaaS products, and full-stack applications with Livewire and Inertia. Laravel's ecosystem includes first-party packages like Horizon (queue monitoring), Telescope (debugging), Cashier (subscriptions), and Filament (admin panels). Combined with Pest PHP for testing and Laravel Forge or Vapor for deployment, it's a complete platform for rapid backend development.
Quick start
composer create-project laravel/laravel my-app
cd my-app
php artisan serveRead the full documentation at laravel.com/docs
RESTful APIs with auth
Sanctum or Passport for token and session-based auth — SPA, mobile, and third-party API access covered.
Eloquent ORM
Expressive relationships, eager loading, and query scopes — readable code that maps cleanly to your schema.
Queue workers
Redis-backed job queues for async email, notifications, webhooks, and anything that shouldn't block a request.
Livewire reactive UIs
Full-page and component-level reactivity without leaving PHP — great for admin tools and internal apps.
Filament admin panels
Beautiful, fully-featured admin panels built with Filament in days — tables, forms, charts, actions.
Pest PHP test suites
Expressive, readable tests with Pest — unit, feature, and browser tests in CI on every push.
Why it's hard
Eloquent N+1 queries
Eloquent's convenience hides lazy-loading pitfalls — without eager loading, a list page can fire hundreds of queries behind the scenes.
Queue reliability at scale
Redis-backed queues need monitoring, retry strategies, and dead-letter handling — unhandled failures silently drop jobs.
Upgrading between major versions
Laravel releases a new major version annually. Staying current requires proactive migration work to avoid accumulating technical debt.
Monolith to modular architecture
Large Laravel apps tend toward a single app directory. Structuring code into domain modules early prevents spaghetti as the codebase grows.
Best practices
Use Laravel Pint for consistent code style
Run Pint in CI to enforce PSR-12 formatting — zero configuration, zero arguments about code style.
Leverage form requests for validation
Move validation logic out of controllers into dedicated FormRequest classes for reusability and cleanliness.
Queue everything that doesn't need an immediate response
Email, notifications, PDF generation, and webhook delivery should always run in background jobs.
Use database transactions for multi-step writes
Wrap related inserts/updates in DB::transaction() to prevent partial writes on failure.
