What is the best way to deploy laravel application

@Sinnbeck does it mean that i have to pay for digital ocean and ploi or i can just use ploi

@abdallahsawaqi digitalocean or similar. Ploi and forge are just for setting up a server for you and helping you deploy to them. They don't have servers

If you already know how to set up a webserver, you can of course do it yourself. I know how but still prefer ploi as it just speeds up everything

Here is an example of a deploy script if you want to write your own. This one is how spatie does it

@Sinnbeck ok I get it so digitalocean is webserver. forge and ploi is used to set up the server, so I can use digital ocean just by its self

@abdallahsawaqi ploi/forge also helps you with the management of the server.

And also deployments. For example zero downtime deployment https://ploi.io/documentation/deployment/how-do-i-enable-zero-downtime-deployment

Ploi has a free trial. It just cost the uptime of the digital ocean server. So you can try it out for a few days or weeks

@Sinnbeck thank you so much

@jlrdw yes I have read the article but I still confused I think I need to do more research,so you recommend that I should just follow their article
