Laravel Octane is a very powerful component in the Laravel ecosystem that can help you achieve remarkable app performance. With Laravel Octane, you will find tools (queues, cache, and tables) that facilitate a new asynchronous approach for improving application performance.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The author successfully presents complex topics in a simple and comprehensible manner. From setting up your Laravel environment to implementing Octane in production, this book will be my reference for reviewing the steps. I particularly appreciated the author's use of demonstrations to illustrate the differences between the current status quo and Octane through benchmarking. This approach allowed me to truly see and understand the disparities.

This book is designed for beginner to intermediate Laravel developers who want to optimize the performance of their applications. It covers two main application servers, RoadRunner and Swoole, for Laravel Octane, along with their advanced configurations. Additionally, the book explores concepts like asynchronous programming, caching, latency reduction, and queue management with Redis.What sets this book apart is its detailed, step-by-step setup process and its thorough explanation of Octane's features, compared to a regular setup. The techniques described in the book will undoubtedly improve application performance, as asynchronous programming is not a strong suit of PHP's built-in features.As someone who has been looking to enhance the performance of my existing Laravel application with Octane, I found this book to be invaluable. It provided me with a solid understanding of how to optimize the bootstrapping process in Laravel and how to share resources among workers for a specified number of requests. Furthermore, the book's coverage of asynchronous programming extends to message queues and brokers like Redis.Overall, this book is an excellent resource for Laravel Developers looking to improve the performance of their web applications. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to improve the speed and scalability of their Laravel applications.

This was a great resource for me! I am a relatively new developer (about a year experience) and I felt like this book explained Laravel Octane thoroughly and clearly. I especially enjoyed how the book highlights best practices for performance within your app. I am sharing the link with my colleagues as I believe this book could be a great resource for outlining the use of Octane in the future of applications.
