Laravel

A PHP web framework with expressive syntax.

Laravel logo

Laravel is a full-stack PHP web framework with strong opinions about ergonomic syntax. It bundles routing, the Eloquent ORM, the Blade templating engine, queues with multiple driver back-ends, scheduled tasks, broadcasting (WebSocket-style real-time events), and a sophisticated migrations and seeding system for databases. Most modern PHP development that does not sit on top of WordPress takes place in Laravel today.

Taylor Otwell released the framework in 2011 and remains its lead developer through Laravel LLC. The project's commercial ecosystem (Forge for server provisioning, Vapor for serverless deployment, Nova for admin panels, Cashier for billing) funds ongoing development, while the core framework remains MIT-licensed.

Laravel's developer-experience focus has made it popular with agencies and product teams shipping web apps quickly. The Laracasts video tutorial site and the active community at laracasts.com and r/laravel form one of the more vibrant ecosystems in the PHP world, and the framework is the default back-end choice for a substantial fraction of new PHP projects.
