Building a Laravel based application backend for mobile/web.

Hey,

I have developed Android apps before and this would be the first time I code the server part on my own, so I have some question before starting with Laravel. First, the app would use profiles/ACL and would send/receive data (restful?) based on those roles, there would be some concurrency so I'd need something based on websockets+Laravel. Later I'll have to code the part that would display the data received but I think that's not that hard..

So here is my question... Is Laravel a good choice for this project? Would be a stable solution? What would I need (libs?) to archive this?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Hello. Laravel is suitable for this, but currently Lumen (based in Laravel) is a veryy good idea specially talking about concurrency (for the requests). Of course, I don't know what exactly you want with concurrency and socket, but possibly there are many ways/repos to do this. Laravel is very suitable for resources-oriented projects, because is very easy create resources/RESTful controllers/routes.

I can recommend you a RESTful API course, with Laravel, that can be helpful for you to start your project, here:

In the near days is going to be published a Lumen course about RESTful APIs too.

Best wishes.
