The Right Software recently successfully deployed a Laravel 4 web application on Amazon AWS EC2. The deployment was handled collaboratively by our deployment team and Laravel developer, ensuring a secure, stable, and scalable production environment. The project was completed efficiently and met all client requirements.
We also recommend upgrading Laravel 4 applications to Laravel 5.6 or newer versions to take advantage of improved security, better performance, long-term support, and compatibility with modern PHP versions.
We also suggest that Laravel 4 applications be updated to Laravel 5.6 latest version as soon as possible to benefit from security and performance upgrades.
Here are some of the tasks we performed.
Provisioned CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18.04 cloud instance
Generated and configured secure access keys
Opened required ports and enabled firewall rules
Installed and configured LAMP / LEMP stack
Installed all required system and PHP packages
Updated packages and hardened server security
Configured Let’s Encrypt free SSL
Installed third-party SSL certificates (A-grade via SSL Labs)
Set up Git and deployed code from the repository
Configured environment files (
.env, storage links, permissions)Performed full application and server testing
We are currently working with the client on the next phase of enhancements and optimizations.
We are now working on next set of changes with the client.
Deploy Laravel on Amazon Lightsail
In addition to EC2, we also deploy and manage Laravel applications on Amazon Lightsail, a cost-effective and simplified cloud hosting solution. Lightsail is ideal for small to mid-scale applications and offers easier management compared to EC2.
We typically use bare-metal instances, manually configure LAMP or LEMP stacks, and deploy Laravel with best security and performance practices. This approach allows us to deliver fast, reliable deployments for a wide range of client requirements.
.We are also able to import and run Laravel projects on Amazon Lightsail platform. For this purpose, we choose barebone Cloud server and setup LAMP or LEMP stacks ourself. This is a fairly easy concept and we can deploy Laravel on Amazon Lightsail for all clients. Lightsail is cost-effective and easier to manage than an EC2 instance.
Similarly we have setup Linux, Install PHP environments and run Laravel on DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, UKFast and other cloud hostings.
