Help me find Laravel documentation for large-scale systems, please

Hello and wish everyone a good day,

I would like to learn how to write Laravel for large-scale systems (such as e-commerce in real life—Amazon), with many users and high concurrent access requirements: handling high traffic loads, stability, high availability, and good performance. Where can I find articles like: Optimizing the Products table for millions of products suitable for Laravel, Using RabbitMQ with Laravel to maintain database stability under high traffic; etc. All I could find were: add package XXX, config like this, add a few lines to ENV, and yeah, I'm done! My project looks good, but I don't think it can handle 10k users (lol). Please help me I've been searching for weeks... Please send me a link to a video series or just the name. Or even just 5% of Amazon would suffice, as long as it meets the requirements mentioned above Thank you, and once again, I hope everyone has a good day.

if you want to scale like amazon, you end up building amazon AWS

Your architecture team will know what to do by the time you get there.

Until then focus on what gets your app launched

@Snapey Hi sir Snapey,

I'm really glad you responded to me. However, I'm currently in a third-world country where typically in a small company, devs have to do everything, and that's what I'm concerned about with my level of expertise and the people around me.

Also, I'm just focusing on solving issues with the MySQL database and at the code level, not to mention using AWS (as you can see, it's a money issue).

Due to limited expertise, we have also agreed that we only need basic standards like handling high traffic loads, stability, high availability, and good performance at a basic level. That's why I mentioned about 5% of Amazon.

Thank you so much, Snapey.

@TRANDANH im not saying use AWS. Im saying that if you want to scale like amazon, you will end up building AWS because thats what they needed to do.

They probably started with a couple of servers though and learned and built as demand increased. I doubt they planned their architecture from day #1
