Laravel 2025

Thanks to its strong community and free availability, Laravel offers an exceptionally high level of security and reliability. The latest version of Laravel, version 12, is based on PHP 8.4, which has made a big leap towards modernity with its fundamental improvements. This makes Laravel 2025 the perfect companion for the development of contemporary, scalable web applications.

In 2024, Taylor Otwell, founder of Laravel, announced an investment of $57 million from Accel. Among other things, this will be used to develop Laravel Cloud, which is currently in an early access phase. As a Laravel Diamond Partner, we already have advance access today and can get a first impression of the possibilities in order to be able to respond optimally to your requirements. In 2025, we can also look forward to Laravel Nightwatch, a comprehensive monitoring platform. We are excited!

Laravel has established itself as one of the leading frameworks for modern web and software development for good reason: With its elegant syntax, extensive libraries and powerful tools, Laravel offers developers the opportunity to quickly implement secure and powerful solutions and has also gathered a large and active developer community behind it that is driving the development of the framework forward. What also counts for our customers:

Laravel was developed specifically for the requirements of modern web applications. It comes with everything you need to realise projects efficiently: from powerful features such as routing, caching and authentication to a clearly structured framework that can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.

Thanks to its architecture, Laravel is perfectly compatible with modern technologies, APIs and front-end frameworks such as Vue, React or Angular. In addition, Laravel is based on PHP, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, which guarantees seamless integration into existing systems and long-term maintainability.

Whether small applications or systems with millions of users - Laravel offers the necessary tools to reliably scale projects of any size. With optimised database connectivity, support for load balancing and the ability to operate backend and frontend independently, the framework is perfectly designed for growth.

We have been a Laravel Diamond Partner from the very beginning and are one of the few German web and IT service providers to specialise primarily in Laravel. Depending on the project scope, we pursue one of two core approaches, which we discuss in detail with our customers.

In this approach, Laravel serves exclusively as a backend that communicates with a frontend developed with Vue or React, for example, via an API. This method is particularly suitable for large, complex projects with extensive logic in the backend, numerous interfaces and various frontends such as websites, mobile apps or web applications. With this type of architecture, applications can easily cope with high access numbers of one million page views per month or more.

For less complex applications, the use of Laravel with Livewire or Inertia is a good option. Here, everything is integrated into a single application, making the development processes leaner, faster and more cost-effective. Livewire and Inertia combine the simplicity of traditional server rendering approaches with the advantages of modern, interactive applications, but have limits in terms of scalability and performance.

It sounds a little too romantic to say that EVERYTHING is possible with Laravel. The fact is, however, that Laravel has built up a huge community that goes beyond the framework, massively expanding the toolset and providing packages that cover countless other use cases that companies and developers might need.

And many other functionalities provided by third-party package providers (authorisations, role management, PDF generation).

Since 2024, our COO Christian Köhler has also been on the Advisory Board and our Team Lead Yannick Kupferschmidt has been on the Exam Committee of the "Certification for Laravel", where we are actively involved in establishing high standards for developers worldwide. This partnership is more than a collaboration - it is an expression of our conviction that Laravel is the basis for modern, secure and powerful software solutions.

Is Laravel suitable for our specific industry or business model?

Yes, Laravel is so flexible and versatile that it is suitable for almost any industry and business model. It can be perfectly customised to your individual requirements.

What advantages does Laravel offer compared to other frameworks such as Symfony, Django or Express.js?

Laravel convinces us with its elegant syntax, strong community and extensive libraries, which save our developers a lot of time, i.e. depending on the project scope, just a few weeks to months are enough from project start to go-live. Compared to Symfony, it is often easier to set up, Django lacks PHP compatibility, and Express.js requires more manual configuration for similar functionalities. Feel free to write to us, and we'll see together whether Laravel is the right framework for your project.

Is Laravel secure, and how are security vulnerabilities avoided?

Yes, Laravel places great emphasis on security. It offers features such as CSRF protection, SQL injection prevention and secure authentication mechanisms. Regular updates and an active community ensure that potential vulnerabilities are quickly fixed.

How closely do we work with your team during development?

We rely on transparent and close collaboration. Regular coordination, agile working methods and direct contact with our developers - without an intermediary project manager - ensure that your requirements are taken into account directly at all times.

How long does it take to develop a Laravel project?

We work in an agile and iterative manner, which means that we implement an initial version with core functionalities for you as quickly as possible and then work towards the final version step by step and in close coordination with you. In doing so, we can take into account changing requirements based on the market situation, which makes you flexible and competitive. Of course, the exact duration depends on your project. Small applications can be ready in a few weeks, while more complex projects can take several months.

What kind of applications can be implemented with Laravel (e.g. web applications, APIs, SaaS platforms)?

You can implement almost anything with Laravel: Web applications, APIs, SaaS platforms, e-commerce solutions or even real-time dashboards. We are happy to provide customised advice on this.

What human resources do we need internally if we use Laravel?

That depends on the size of your project. For smaller projects, one contact person is sufficient, while larger projects benefit from an internal team for coordination, testing, acceptance or front-end work.

How often is Laravel updated and how difficult is it to update?

Laravel is updated regularly, usually one major version per year and minor and patch versions every week. The updates are well documented and easy to implement with an experienced team.

Can Laravel be combined with machine learning/AI systems or other specialised technologies?

Absolutely! Laravel can be easily integrated with machine learning or AI systems and other specialised technologies, for example via APIs or special libraries.

How does Laravel support mobile applications or Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)?

Laravel is the perfect backend base for mobile apps and PWAs. It can be seamlessly combined with frameworks such as Ionic or React Native and Service Worker technologies. With our front-end development team, we also offer the option of having everything implemented by us as a service provider.

Does Laravel offer functions for multilingualism and international markets?

Yes, Laravel supports multilingualism with integrated localisation functions so that you can easily adapt your application to international markets.
