    1. Scaling Web Applications

      As developers, we often find ourselves engaged in discussions about scalability and performance. In this course, we will also delve into the topic of scalability and performance. However, before we dive into the details, let's start by examining a poorly performing Laravel web application.

    2. How to Install Laravel Octane

      We will see how we can install Octane and run our site on it locally from within a docker container.

      In this video, we will look into how Octane bootstraps our Laravel application once, and stores it in memory for all future requests.

      We will look into how requests are handled under Octane and the work Laravel does to clean the state between requests.
