This is more of a server-level concern than an application-level issue.
- Use Nginx for starters.
- Use caching to speed-up responses.
- Use PHP 7

Hello , I'm a huge fan of laravel and i'm building a new "social-media" type website using this framework . However i have some concerns . I saw several posts where users are saying that laravel can barely handle a few thousand users/connections based on the default settings .
I am hoping to make my website scalable and that can handle 10k , 100k and even 1000k users if it comes to that . My question is , can i achieve that easily using the default laravel configurations / eloquent etc...
I'm following the 5.2 docs for Authentication using all default configurations .
Note : I'll be hosting on Azure Cloud Services + Sql Database (Hardware scalability should not be an issue)
