Laravel on MassiveGRID PaaS
Laravel is the most popular PHP framework for building web applications and APIs, known for elegant syntax, a rich ecosystem and strong tooling. The MassiveGRID PaaS package deploys a Laravel-ready environment in one click: a tuned PHP application server, a database and a fresh Laravel project, so you can push your code and go live.
Both buttons open the MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard with Laravel pre-selected. The trial needs no credit card.

What is Laravel?
Laravel gives PHP developers routing, an ORM (Eloquent), migrations, queues, scheduled jobs, authentication, real-time broadcasting and a testing framework, plus first-party packages for billing, search and admin panels. Hosting it well means the right PHP version and extensions, Composer, a database, a queue worker and a scheduler running every minute.
The package sets that up: a PHP application server with the extensions Laravel needs, Composer, a MySQL or MariaDB database, a new Laravel skeleton with its environment file configured, and the document root pointed at the public directory. Connect a Git repository and the platform deploys on every push, while vertical auto-scaling follows traffic.
What the Laravel Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- PHP application server: NGINX or Apache with PHP-FPM, OPcache and the extensions Laravel requires (mbstring, openssl, PDO, tokenizer, XML, ctype, JSON, bcmath).
- MySQL or MariaDB database: A linked database with credentials written into the Laravel environment file.
- Composer and Laravel skeleton: A fresh Laravel project installed via Composer with the application key generated and storage permissions set.
- Built-in domain and SSL: HTTPS on a platform subdomain immediately; attach your own domain via Let's Encrypt.
Why Teams Choose Laravel
Ready for your code
Replace the skeleton with your repository via Git deploy; Composer install and migrations can run as post-deploy hooks.
Queues and scheduler
Run queue workers and the Laravel scheduler using the platform's process and cron tools, with Redis available as a queue driver.
Scale horizontally
Add a load balancer and more PHP nodes from the topology editor, with sessions and cache in a Redis cluster.
Modern PHP
Choose the PHP version from the dashboard to match the Laravel release you target.

Who Runs Laravel on PaaS
SaaS and web applications
Products built on Laravel that need production hosting with room to grow.

Agencies and freelancers
One isolated, separately billed environment per client project, cloned from a base image.
Why Run Laravel on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. Laravel runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet Laravel environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
