Is Laravel good solution for E-commerce?
Hello friends,
I would like to know your opinion/tricks about creating an e-commerce marketplace as is for example “https://aukro.cz/“ with Laravel as a backend. The main point is users could sell and buy tangible products.
I was thinking of using on the frontend Nuxt/Vue and Laravel as an API, but I'm not sure if Laravel is recommended for this kind of project. As I have scraped the internet for the right answers many developers were advised not to use PHP/Laravel and use a nonRational database, which I think is not a good idea for e-commerce, where you need many relationships.
Do I need Redis and Caching for e-commerce? If I would like to sell intangible products (pdf, doc etc..) should I be storing data in Laravel or use AWS solution?
Thank you very much

@mastermindlegion you can write bad code in any language / frameworks, similar you can write good code in any of them.
Laravel takes care of many things right out of the box so you can focus on what you creating and this is really the selling point.
Second point would be. Think of those developers on the internet like your extended family - what would the say if you ask them about your business idea? Would you listen to them? Well this is the same. You need to make your own mind.
Have a great weekend!
