Recommendations for cloud-based Laravel hosting (preferably auto-scaling)?
Hi, We're looking for scalable cloud based hosting that can scale with growth of our userbase. Can anyone recommend Laravel (site uses 5.4 currently) hosting that is as easy as possible to configure and run (i.e. as little systems admin and server setup as possible)? Ideally we want something that auto-scales in response to site load. Was looking at Heroku as one option but wondered if any other recommendations please. Forge looks too much admin/complexity, though I may be wrong.
Thanks! Alex

@ajck My suggestion would be to give Forge+DigitalOcean a shot. You're not going to find something more targeted at Laravel than Forge (for obvious reasons).
I've got some sites on Rackspace as well. They're great (so is DO, btw). That said, those are all set up for Laravel by hand....the opposite of what you want.

I don't think you'll find anything simpler to manage than Heroku.
It's a non-sysop's dream.

I am quite happy with fortrabbit (which is fully managed and based on AWS infrastructure). Any quite affordable in pricing while still scaleable to a very substantial size (not pure autoscaling AFAIK but only 1 click in dashboard)

You can use AWS with Forge so maybe AWS autoscaling would work for you?
