Laravel articles & guides
Laravel has been my main framework since 2018. These articles collect what I’ve learned building and running Laravel applications in production — e-commerce platforms, business systems, APIs and small products of my own.
They’re practical rather than theoretical: how to deploy without surprises, how to keep an application fast and secure, how to structure a frontend around a Laravel backend, and how to hire someone to do this work well.

React and Laravel architecture: API, Inertia or Livewire?
Four ways to pair Laravel with a modern interface — Blade, Livewire, Inertia with React, or a separate React/Next.js app over an API — and when to use each.
- Blade + Alpine or Livewire is the simplest choice for admin panels and content-heavy sites.
- Inertia with React gives a single-page-app feel without building a separate API.

Laravel performance optimization: a practical checklist
A practical Laravel performance checklist — N+1 queries, indexes, caching, queues, OPcache, config caching and front-end weight — in the order I actually check them.
- Measure first: most slow Laravel pages come from the database, not PHP.
- Fix N+1 queries with eager loading, and add indexes for the queries you actually run.

How I approach full-stack development
The six-step loop I follow on every project — think, design, build, test, deploy, improve — and the practical habits behind each step.
- A full-stack developer’s real value is owning a feature from database row to phone screen.

Security considerations for Laravel applications
A practical Laravel security checklist — authorisation, mass assignment, validation, rate limits, uploads, secrets, headers and payment callbacks.
- Authorise every action with policies or scoped queries — not just every page.
- Use $fillable and validated data to prevent mass-assignment bugs.

Common Laravel deployment problems (and how to avoid them)
Blank 500s, storage permissions, stale config cache, silent queues and mixed content — the Laravel deployment errors I see most, with fixes and a checklist.
- A blank 500 usually means Laravel can’t write to storage/logs — check permissions first.
- After config:cache, env() returns null outside config files; always read values via config().
