Finally! Thanks a lot for the great course we are going to have.

Setting a project on a VPS should be just the beginning.

What about the real world thing that most employers looking for?

70% of Laravel (and basically any other SE) job posts ask for DevOps experience.

The real world asks for Docker / Kubernetes deployments with CI/CD flow. Struggling for months, if not years to get into these stuff.

Could we wait something like that, on the future?

We need real life Docker / Kubernetes deployments, because this is what is asked on the real world (for big projects), it's like we ask for too much but that's what is being asked from us at the end of the day.

PS : This is absolutely not an offensive comment or something, it is just a comment about the reality. Huge respect Mohamed for everything you have offered to us the last years.

PS2: Monitoring / Scaling should be also something that we really need to see. Just deploying a project to a VPS is not fancy anymore, hopefully we can all agree on that, we are on 2023 and there are a ton of resources out there for this, we need to see the exciting stuff which we can't find unfortunately, for the technology that we all love (aka Laravel)

@Ninj4df I'm planning to make a series about Docker, but not Kubernetes. I don't believe in Kubernetes for running a monolith. It makes more sense for microservices.

@themsaid hey thanks Mohamed for the answer, I'm surprised but super happy to hear about it. Something to have in mind about that, when you plan to create this course, please emphasise on the production side of Docker and not the Development one, it's easy to find, but every course out there really struggles when it comes to the production deployment with Docker, and it is super visible actually to every course I have watched out there. Monitoring too, we deploy our app, what''s from there? Our server can't handle more traffic, how we face that? Make the difference 💪 💪 💪 💪 See you!! Thanks

@themsaid But still if we can have some idea about k8s for Laravel, it can be a great thing for us. Since there are not good resources available on the internet for this specific topic, please consider doing a quick overview.

@themsaid SuperB! Docker-compose, native docker, Traefik reverse proxy, and bind 9 (in a container) is some potential knowledge. Maybe a self-signed cert that is signed with a root CA only development purpose is interesting too if somebody works with intranet development.

Although I am using Forge, because it's very convenient, I am really looking forward to this course, especially for the deployment part.

I do not know if Jeffrey plans to have every video lesson transcribed/captioned into English text, but I do know that many of them already have been completed. You might want to consider offering yourself as an Arabic translator to help him get that started.

I have nearly fifteen years of experience developing and running a translation service if you choose to do this and would like any advice, directions, program suggestions, etc.. :)
