How are you deploying your Laravel API's currently?
Hi,
We are just planning on deploying a new API which a third party will use to send us data. We are considering all deployment options and not just an EC2 instance. It will be AWS.
@phpmick Personally? Heroku. But I’ve used Heroku for years with my own apps. It was Laravel Cloud before Laravel Cloud. I create a bucket in S3, attached a Redis and Postgres instance, and can then deploy my app using nothing more than git push.
I just have absolutely zero desire to manage resources and infrastructure myself, and my apps have ran on Heroku hobby instances forever without ever really testing the CPU and RAM limits. Heroku’s pricing is also fixed, unlike Laravel Cloud’s, which puts me off using Cloud. I don’t want a shock bill because I used more bandwidth or whatever.
