Laravel Development in the Cloud

[sweatshirtstation]

Which is the best cloud environment for Laravel development ?

[sanderson]

Generally, development is best done locally rather than on a cloud server. Nanobox provides a local dev environment that is identical to your production environment. So you can develop locally, then deploy to live servers without any surprises. What cloud provider you use is up to you. With Nanobox, it doesn't really matter.

Here's some more information about using Laravel with Nanobox:

You can use NanoBox or tools like Vagrant or Homestead that gives you local dev environment quickly. Or you could use a platform gives you staging server along with live server. The platform I am using to host Laravel projects has both live and staging servers. I develop my entire website on staging server and deploy it to the live server from there.
