Build and deploy web apps at super-fast speed with laravel 12.

There's nothing like this out there. This book is an absolute recipe-based book for PHP developers covering practical, battle-tested solutions for building, securing and maintaining production-grade Laravel 12 applications on Linux. It's all broken down into a bunch of focused recipes that actually tackle some of the real-world backend challenges you might face.

From scratch, you'll get to configure a secure PHP 8.5 and Laravel 12 environment, design expressive Eloquent models with complex relationships, and enforce layered authentication and role-based access control using Breeze, Socialite, and Fortify. I'll show you to build multi-channel notification systems, integrate real-time broadcasting with Pusher and Laravel Echo, and offload heavy work to queued jobs with retry strategies, chaining, and batching. We'll go through file storage, media management, image processing with Intervention Image v3, and secure S3 integration in detail, as well as temporary signed URL generation and a reusable media registry.

And the last few chapters are all about automation and reliability, like scheduling tasks using routes/console.php, running automated database backups with Spatie Laravel Backup, getting rid of stale data with the Prunable trait, and keeping an eye on your app's health with Telescope and Pulse.
