DBngin VS volta

Check out DBngin or StackBricks.

My option of choice is DBngin. It is a simple tool which lets you add databases quickly for whatever you need including MySQL, Postgres, and even Redis.

Laravel Valet + PHP Monitor + DBngin

DBngin provides a free, all-in-one database management tool that includes MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis. After DBngin has been installed, you can connect to your database at 127.0.0.1 using the root username and an empty string for the password.

DBNgin is a great tool for spinning up a DB (MySQL/Postgres/Redis)

Ok I see what you mean, yeah that's a pain. You could turn off MySQL in MAMP and run a separate DB app such as DBngin (https://dbngin.com/), which makes it easier to start/stop different DB's but only offers different versions of MySQL, not MariaDB.

Laravel has a built in server which leverages local PHP. I use that combined with https://dbngin.com/ for MySQL + Redis. Then frontend is ran with local node (via https://volta.sh/, also very quick)

Your local machine should have Node.js and npm installed. Wrangler CLI requires a Node version of 16.13.0 or later to avoid permission issues.

For node version management, I highly recommend Volta (not affiliated) - https://volta.sh

Go to https://volta.sh and install Volta

Alternatively, a better way to manage Node.js releases on your machine is to use an environment management tool like Volta that can install and switch between multiple versions seamlessly.

To use TypeScript you need Node.js installed, be sure to use the latest LTS version. You can check it by running node -v in your terminal. If you don't have it installed, you can download it here, or use a version manager like asdf, nvm, or even volta.
