Something we didn't show in the Laracon US keynote is that Forge now keeps a log of when you run recipes. Now, you can see when and what servers a recipe was run on.
I am incredibly proud of the Forge team and all their hard work! Unfortunately, some of the team were unable to join us at Laracon but all played a huge part in making Forge more awesome. Incredible work 👏
There’s no two ways about it; Nightwatch is a game-changer 🦸🏻♂️ We’ve been using it on Forge for several months, and it immediately found itself as a critical piece of our developer tooling. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we do!
Laravel@laravel.com · last yr.We just shipped Nightwatch: application monitoring & logging obsessively optimized for Laravel. ✨ Start with a single command 📊 Monitor every event ⏱️ Review precise timelines & logs ⚠️ Hear less noise with smart alerts And much more, including a free plan for anywhere you deploy Laravel apps.
Honestly, the team have been killing it on Forge. I can’t wait to show you all what we’ve been doing 🙌
For the Forge update, we've adopted the Action pattern and it's been incredibly productive for us, allowing us to efficiently refactor old code as we go. Previously, Forge had a massive class of methods (split into traits) that was unwieldily and much harder to test.
When we began working on the big Laravel Forge update we teased recently, we had the chance to switch from Vue to React. We stuck with Vue. Our team is very comfortable with Vue 3’s composition API and Inertia 2. But React’s ecosystem, I hear you shouting… we’ve never felt like we’re missing out!

In @jessarcher.bsky.social's Nightwatch talk she mentioned how we paired Laravel's rate limiting with Cloudflare to completely side step our servers from handling "dead requests" on Forge. Here's how you can do the same thing! james.brooks.page/blog/superch...
Supercharging Rate Limiting with Cloudflare - James Brooks
Enhance Laravel’s rate limiting by using Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block excessive requests at the edge, reducing server load and improving API performance.

When translating Laravel apps, do you prefer short keys or strings as keys? PHP vs JSON. I’m considering whether we switch @cachethq.io from JSON.
