Last week I published a set of AI skills to manage the entire Shift process. This allows you to automate your Laravel upgrade right from your prompt.
Shift + AI = Fully Upgraded
I've been waiting to share this. Huge updates coming soon to Laravel Cloud over the next few weeks... ☁️
• A new $5/month plan. We want Cloud to be accessible to every Laravel developer. Simple as that.
• Spend caps. Set a spend cap on your account and we'll either alert you or shut off compute when you hit it. No surprise bills.
• True scale-to-zero compute. Hibernation has been around for a while, but we've made wake-up over 10x faster. App, database, and cache wake-up is now measured in milliseconds. Your users won't even notice.
• New bot protection rules keep scale-to-zero apps scaled to zero more of the time, cutting your compute spend even further.
• Fully managed, auto-scaling queues with observability. We've rebuilt "queue clusters" into a new product: "managed queues". Set a max worker count and we handle the rest. Scales on queue depth, scales to zero when idle, so you're never over-provisioned.
Huge thanks to everyone building on Laravel Cloud. Your feedback shaped most of what's above - keep it coming. ❤️
AI obviously is here to stay, but I think this year will consist of developers rediscovering that writing code by hand is fun.
"Oh I forgot that I really enjoy this."
