Be part of JetBrains PHPverse 2026 on June 9 – a free online event bringing PHP devs worldwide together.
I noticed that new Laravel apps ship with concurrently in package.json.
Does anyone know where this is being used?
And is there any reason I should not remove it? I don't plan on using it, unless vite or tailwind or something requires it. Everything seems to work fine without it though.
Taylor added a composer run dev command a little while ago. It uses concurrently to run php artisan serve, php artisan queue:listen, php artisan pail, and npm run dev at the same time in the same terminal window, making it a bit easier to get everything going.
If you don't plan to use the composer run dev command, you should be fine to uninstall it.
