Personally I use Laravel Forge ( http://forge.laravel.com ) but it's more than just a deploy tool. It actually builds the server (on AWS/DigitalOcean/Etc), installs everything that Laravel supports out of the box (redis, etc), and installs your app from your github or bitbucket repo. You can tell it what branch to "watch" for changes (usually master), and anytime you merge code to your master branch it will automatically deploy it to your server. It can also run scripts, so if you need to run npm run production, or install a piece of software from apt, you can.

Laravel also has another deployment service (only does deployments, not manage server) called Envoyer ( https://envoyer.io/ ). It has a lot more features when it comes to deploying.

You can't really go wrong with either of those 2 when it comes to laravel apps, since they are made by the Laravel engineers.
