Apache vs Nginx

Does Laravel come with a preconfigured server or do I need to do all myself? Locally I use php artisan serve but after googling that is not apache or Nginx.

Laravel does not come pre-configured with a web server; You already know the built-in PHP server which you use if you run php artisan serve. An alternative is Valet which uses Nginx.

For your server, you will need to set up everything yourself. You can google on how to do this ;)

I would recommend Nginx since that is easier to set up in my experience.
