Protip when reviewing Laravel PRs.
If someone launched `composer update` or even `composer require` as part of that PR, chances are that A LOT of Laravel Boost files will get updated.

So, when reviewing, filter `.md` files out.
Review process will get much more pleasant :)

Laravel tip.
In `down()` method of migrations, did you know about a convenient method `dropConstrainedForeignId()`?

It drops the foreign key constraint, and then the column.

2-in-1.

It's not in the official docs, only in the API docs: api.laravel.com/docs/13.x/Illuminate/Database/Sche…

Interesting change how Laravel Boost generates the default CLAUDE(.)md / AGENTS(.)md file.

It used to contain the list of all tools with versions.

Now it instructs the agent how to get those vertion, when needed.

P.S. Did you know about `composer show --direct`?

Does Laravel (or PHP) scale?
Almost a year ago, I've collected this repository: Large Laravel/PHP project examples
github.com/LaravelDaily/Large-Laravel-PHP-Project-…

A list of links to real big money-making projects built with Laravel/PHP.

With NUMBERS.

Show them to anyone who is judging/questioning if large projects can be built with PHP.

Anything missing from this list?
Reply/PR!

Main analytics for all of my 4 YouTube channels.
Many angles to look from and takeaways to make, here are a few:

1. Laravel Daily Subs are way down but Views still ok (basically, everyone already subscribed lol)

2. Laravel Daily Views are higher than AI Coding Daily, but Watch Time is lower

3. Laravel Daily Revenue is going down because it depends mostly on Watch Time

4. AI Coding Daily Revenue is more stable because probably AI coding topic has more ads and with bigger rates than Laravel/PHP/web

5. Filament Daily became a "niche" channel where I post *sometimes* (once a week) when I have a new interesting example or plugin. So, numbers are low but they were much higher when I posted (almost) daily.

6. NativePHP is too early to judge, not monetized (need 4k watch hours or 8k with new terms), but the videos about new SuperNative are skyrocketing in views. So, a lot of potential, while it still will be very niche, similar to Filament, I would guess.

Any other takeaways you see here?
Or, have questions so I would clarify?

Useful Laravel package!
provydon/laravel-scale: github.com/provydon/laravel-scale

One install gives you Laravel Octane (FrankenPHP), a production Docker setup, and a stateless web + worker layout that runs on Render, Laravel Cloud, Fly, Railway, AWS ECS & EKS, and Google GKE & Cloud Run

New interesting project.
anthonybudd/Laravel-Lite - The World's Smallest Laravel Instance

Also video by the author:

I wonder if it's still a worth-solving problem in 2026.

Remember Lumen, anyone?
