Laravel Architecture Patterns: The Production Playbook

The Laravel docs show you what the framework does. They don't tell you how to organise it once you have 50 routes, 3 developers, and a codebase that needs to survive the next 3 years. This series fixes that. 35 articles extracted from 7 production Laravel applications spanning hosting platforms, dealer marketplaces, identity verification, and service management systems. Every pattern is in production. Every code example is real. Topics: folder structure, multi-guard auth, thin controllers, form requests, service classes, action classes, DTOs, model traits, observers, events, jobs, queues, artisan commands, caching, structured logging, request logging, error reporting, slow query detection, exports, notifications, mail, status pages, CI/CD, Larastan, Rector, Pint, git hooks, composer scripts, testing strategy, and API resources.
