Longstanding framework community has accelerated secure web ticketing development on cloud

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Laravel PHP Framework is using it as a backend for web applications.

A quick specific example of a web application where I used Laravel PHP Framework as the backend is our in-house ticketing system for our customers so they can open support tickets.

We are using Laravel PHP Framework for integrating web applications with SQL database.

What is most valuable?

In my experience, the best features that Laravel PHP Framework offers are that it's fairly old, having been out for a long time, so there is a lot of resources on the internet, and the community is very large. The libraries are very good, allowing you to find what you need easily.

Laravel PHP Framework has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to switch from developing the same project using Java, which took much longer, to Laravel and PHP, saving a lot of time. Our project is deployed on AWS, so we used it on AWS.

Things moved twice as fast with Laravel PHP Framework compared to Java.

What needs improvement?

Laravel PHP Framework needs to be constantly updated and modernized because it is now considered legacy, and there are many more modern programming languages that are coming and becoming more famous, easier, and more attractive for today's programmers. Laravel needs to be modernized and kept trending because it's currently considered legacy and it's slowly dying.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Laravel PHP Framework for five years.

What other advice do I have?

Since I'm not a programmer but a cybersecurity engineer, a lot of the code I write is mainly taken from publicly available resources, and having a good community that has a lot of similar code to what I need available easily has helped a lot compared to other programming languages.

I urge others looking into using Laravel PHP Framework to use it over other programming languages as it's been out for a long time. It has a lot of support, and they will easily find things on the internet to help them. Laravel PHP Framework is a very stable and reliable programming language that has a lot of room for creativity and can help you achieve whatever you want to do with your web application. It's very useful. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
