Laravel is a batteries-included PHP web application framework with expressive syntax, covering routing, ORM (Eloquent), templating (Blade), queues, authentication, and testing. It is a progressive framework that scales from beginner projects to large professional applications, with recent releases adding AI-native workflows and vector search primitives.

Use cases

• build a full-stack web application in PHP
• create a REST or JSON:API backend
• manage database schema migrations and ORM models
• run background jobs and scheduled tasks
• render server-side HTML with Blade templates
• add authentication and validation to a web app
• build real-time event broadcasting features

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included PHP framework with strong conventions and documentation
• you need routing, ORM, queues, auth, and testing out of the box
• you are building anything from a small site to a large professional web application
• you want first-party AI SDK integration and vector search in a PHP stack

When to avoid

• you are not working in PHP
• you want a minimal microframework with no opinions
• you need a frontend-only JavaScript framework
• your team prefers assembling components yourself over a cohesive stack
