Laravel in production.
Zero server setup.
Hand-tuned Nginx + PHP-FPM, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, database provisioning, and background queue worker scaling. Same command works on AWS, GCP, Azure, Alibaba, and Linode.
Automated PHP & Nginx tuning out of the box
Setting up PHP-FPM pools, configuring Nginx socket connections, setting up OPcache limits, and managing SSL renewals are tasks of the past. vxcloud takes care of the configuration so you can write controllers.
Optimized PHP-FPM & Nginx
Multi-stage Docker build with PHP 8.2/8.3, pre-configured Nginx routing, OPcache optimization, and Composer autoload optimization.
Let's Encrypt SSL
Automatic SSL provisioning and cron-based renewals. Secure your marketing domain or API endpoint instantly with zero configuration.
Managed MySQL or Postgres
Provision cloud databases on-demand. Connection strings flow straight into your app environment variables under DB_HOST, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_DATABASE.
Isolated Queue Workers
Spin up background queues on dedicated workers with one command. Decouple long-running jobs from your HTTP processes for better response times.
GitOps & CI/CD Pipelines
Deploy from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or local CLI. Build and push new container tags seamlessly with built-in zero-downtime rollouts.
Multi-Cloud Portability
AWS EC2, Google Compute Engine, Azure VMs, Linode, or Alibaba Cloud. Ship to any VPS provider without rewriting deploy steps.

Keep your HTTP responses fast by moving slow operations to isolated background processes.
# Deploy a worker process using the same Laravel codebase
vxcli deploy nodejs \

--app-name laravel-worker \
--start "php artisan queue:work --queue=default --sleep=3 --tries=3" \

--host $VM_IP --ssh-user ubuntu --key-pair-name AWSPRODKEY2Laravel production checklist
- Always run `php artisan config:cache`, `route:cache`, and `view:cache` as part of your deployment optimization.
- Set `APP_DEBUG=false` in production to prevent exposing sensitive stack traces on error screens.
- Use Redis or Memcached (provisioned via vxcloud) for fast session, cache, and queue operations at scale.
- Configure Laravel logging to output to `stderr` or structured JSON, forwarding logs to monitoring tools like Grafana Loki.
- Setup `TRUSTED_PROXIES` in Laravel middleware if you run behind Traefik/Nginx, ensuring Client IP addresses are forwarded correctly.
- Keep database connections persistent and use connection pools to prevent overloading your MySQL/Postgres instances under high traffic.
