Actionable Performance Insight in 4 Minutes (sponsor)

Scout APM is Laravel application performance monitoring that helps developers quickly pinpoint and resolve performance issues before your customer ever sees them.

Scout’s deep instrumentation and clutter-free UI streamlines proactive and real-time insight into N+1 queries, memory leaks, and other abnormalities with tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code -- so you can know the exact line of code causing the issue and get back to building a great product faster.

Easy to install and safe to run alongside your existing APM library, you’re only 4 minutes away from actionable performance insight.

Start your free 14-day trial today and Scout will donate $5 to the open-source project of your choice when you deploy.

You can now easily change the default database auto-increment value in Laravel

Laravel 8 adds a brand new method to make changing the auto-increment starting value easy. This could be useful in situations where you might not want someone to see they are the first order or the first user.

Updating the Laravel Installer

Installing the new Laravel installer using Composer is easy, but what if you already have it installed? If you’re scratching your head, we’ve got you covered!

Eco allows you and your team to effortlessly and securely share non-production environment variables, without the overhead of setting up dedicated secrets servers.
