While creating software MVPs, speed and efficiency is of the essence. Here are some reasons why Laravel is great for the job.

Over the last few years, I took part in creating several startup projects, all of which involved building an MVP (Most Viable Product) as fast as possible. Different projects meant that I worked with various technologies while working on them, including Ruby on Rails, NodeJS and CodeIgniter. All those technologies are great and ultimately did the job but I’ve always felt like the basic stuff could be done a lot easier and that I should find something which would allow me to prototype faster.

Enter Laravel. A PHP framework designed around the very idea of setting the foundation so that one may focus on building the core of the product. Being a PHP framework was perfect for me, as I had extensive experience with the language already but PHP was not my go-to language for my projects. All of that changed with Laravel. I’m going to outline several main reasons why one should consider Laravel framework when building a web application MVP.

• User authentication out of the box
• Simple routing
• Eloquent ORM
• Blade templating engine
• Rapid e-mail integration
• Sanctum
• Vibrant ecosystem
• Documentation & community
