Laravel hosting questions answered
What PHP versions does ApexWeave support for Laravel?
ApexWeave supports PHP 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3. Specify your PHP version in your composer.json require section. Laravel 10 and Laravel 11 are both fully supported.
Can I run php artisan migrate on ApexWeave?
Yes. Use the ApexWeave CLI's run command to execute artisan commands inside your container: apexweave run your-app "php artisan migrate --force". You can also add it to your post-deployment command in Settings.
Does ApexWeave support Laravel queues and scheduled tasks?
Laravel queues work if you run a worker process — contact support to configure a secondary worker container. Scheduled tasks via artisan schedule:run can be triggered via cron using the ApexWeave CLI exec command.
Is file storage (Laravel Storage) supported?
The local filesystem disk works within the container. For persistent file storage across deploys, configure Laravel to use an S3-compatible service (the container filesystem resets on each deploy).
Is ApexWeave better than shared cPanel hosting for Laravel?
Yes. Shared cPanel hosting runs all customers on the same PHP environment with limited memory and no isolation. ApexWeave gives your Laravel app a dedicated Docker container with its own CPU, RAM limits, environment variables, and git-based deployments — no FTP required.
Your Laravel app deserves better than shared hosting.
