Deploy Laravel applications fast and cheap

In this 9 minute video, I'll show you five different cheap and fast methods for deploying Laravel applications. These range from basic shared hosting and VMs up to serverless platforms like Lambda and Vapor. Most have a free tier or start out at $5 per month or less!

Note: I have not been paid or asked to promote any of these services, these are simply ways I've personally deployed Laravel applications with and genuinely enjoy using.

It's so awesome that you included the OG of all deployments with cPanel shared hosting!

Thank you, there are so few videos about deployment out there. This really helps.

Very informative video. One question, how much does adding React with inertia to the mix changes things?

[MrJfergs]

Thanks for this video it is very comprehensive.

Thanks for such a great video. I would like to add one free option (good for prototyping or MVPs) Render. The only downside with Render is that you need to deploy it as a docker container but they do have a Laravel template which needs few modifications.

Currently I'm using Digital Ocean droplets and a server management and devops service called Ploi. Not the cheapest option since you end up paying for two things, but I have found it to be convenient especially for Laravel/Statamic, and since I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to configuring and managing servers 😅

And the link for cpanel instructions is missing

Sir, I have used the laravel vapor method. But after successful deployment, there is '500 | SERVER ERROR' in the link.

Can you add course how to configure CI/CD pipelines Gitlab / Azure with docker (Vue, Laravel and Traefik)?

[ErmandDurro]

Nice content. Thank you Andrew. But I wonder why you didn't include Forge. Is there any particular reason? Wondering since it has been one of the first SasS for deploying Laravel and it come from Laravel team itself 😃 I have been using it for over 7 years now and really happy with it

I'm fond of cloud ways. It will spoil you with their deploy feature.

I don't understand why in the first method, why won't you just place all of the code in the public_html folder itself!
