Laravel Octane v1 is official! 

On Wednesday Laravel Octane, a tool to supercharge your Laravel application's performance moved out of beta, and v1.0 was officially released. 

Octane boasts some exceptional performance benchmarks by using high-powered application servers that integrate with Laravel. Some things to note now that Octane is considered stable and ready for production:

• Octane requires PHP v8.0+
• Octane supports Roadrunner, an application server, load-balancer, and process manager written in Golang.
• Octane supports Swoole PHP, a high-performance programmatic server for PHP with Async IO, Coroutines, and Fibers
• Laravel Sail provides an easy way to get started with both Roadrunner and Swoole
