larastan VS octane

Larastan is a Coding Standards Fixer tool, It's a PHPStan wrapper for Laravel. Larastan focuses on finding errors in your code. It catches whole classes of bugs even before you write tests for the code.

Static analysis or Laravel-lovers

Static Analysis Tools - there are a number of tools that help you to manage code style (PHPCS, PHP-CSFixer, and a new one, Laravel Pint), as well as tools to analyse the "correctness" of your code (Psalm, PHPstan, in particular LaraStan).

New 0.7.3 release includes a rule that can check Laravel Octane compatibility of your application. It basically automates the things mentioned in the official docs. You can give it a try now! And let me know what do you think!

again, not trying to get into a symfony vs laravel debate, but you can do static analysis https://github.com/nunomaduro/larastan

The web server my app uses is not too slow, after load testing with wrk **the RPS on a single 512MB dyno with database queries is 474 requests per second. While running this test, I could still use the app but the response times were higher (400ms-800ms instead of the usual <110ms).

Re Octane, yes it's WIP https://github.com/laravel/octane/pull/764 there were some performance issues found which don't seem to affect non-Laravel apps which is weird/confusing so that's still being looked into. But, soon.

I was hoping that Octane would add support, but the person running the Octane github is one of those people who quickly closes every issue that isn't considered a bug. So no traction is ever built up like on https://github.com/laravel/octane/issues/110 .

Laravel was recently updated to support serverless deployments, alongside the launch of Vapor[1].

Octane[2] is also very exciting. Using Swoole[3] (or another similar driver), Laravel applications can be run entirely in-memory. Early benchmarks showed Octane increased concurrent requests from ~500/sec. to ~6,000/sec.

Another feature of Laravel you might want to take a look at, just became available since the last Laracon. It's called Octane, and it's currently in a beta version, but its potential for optimization, compared to a normal Laravel app, is pretty great. Note that it requires PHP 8.0.

Taylor Otwell already showed a glimpse of Laravel's latest open-source package, Octane, during his Laracon Online talk - but today, the new package is available on GitHub for everyone to beta test.

New 0.7.3 release includes a rule that can check Laravel Octane compatibility of your application. It basically automates the things mentioned in the official docs. You can give it a try now! And let me know what do you think!

Recently the Laravel Octane package was released. It was created to make Laravel with Swoole and RoadRunner more friendly. We are using RoadRunner instead of php-fpm in dev.family for some time now, and we decided to share our experience and to reveal what advantages it has.
