Book Description
Laravel Octane is a very powerful tool that can help you achieve remarkable app performance. With Laravel Octane, you will find tools (queues, cache, tables) that facilitate a new asynchronous approach to improving application performance.
Usually, when developing an application, as developers, we focus on functionality and not on optimization. While this may be the correct approach, there will be cases when you know from the beginning that the application will be used by many users simultaneously. In such cases, you should be aware of the strategies, tools, and best practices that are available to make your application scalable and performant. The book highlights how Laravel Octane works, what steps to take in designing an application from the start, what tools you have at your disposal, and how to set up production environments. Releasing a performing application has a positive impact on the end-user experience.
By the end of this book, you will find yourself designing, developing, and releasing high-performance applications.
