Push a Laravel app and Railpack builds it on FrankenPHP, runs your migrations and serves it, on a server you own.
Deplo builds with Railpack by default, so a Laravel project needs no Dockerfile to get started.
Short answers to what comes up before moving a Laravel app onto your own server.
The one composer.json asks for, 8.4 when it says nothing. Versions from 8.2 on are supported.
Yes: every ext- entry in composer.json, plus any you list in RAILPACK_PHP_EXTENSIONS.
Yes. Managed databases live in the same environment and reach the app over the internal network.
Answer three questions and pick a host, or install Deplo on a server you already have. It's free, and leaving is as easy as arriving. What you do with the money you save is your business.
