What is laravel and why use it for backend development?
Laravel is a powerful and popular PHP framework that is widely used by web developers in Poland and around the world. It offers a range of benefits that make it an excellent choice for building web applications of any size and complexity. Laravel has been around since 2011, and it is continuously being updated and improved. It has a large and active community of developers who contribute to the framework and create packages and tools that extend its functionality. Enlyft data counts 327,996 companies running Laravel in production.
The benefits of choosing Laravel for your next project
- Eloquent ORM: Laravel's built-in ORM makes working with databases straightforward, so the team can focus on the application rather than hand-written SQL.
- Built-in queues: background jobs and scheduled tasks are handled by Laravel's queue system, keeping the application responsive under load.
- API authentication out of the box: Laravel Sanctum or Passport cover token-based auth for an API consumed by a mobile app or a separate frontend.
- Multiple cache backends: Redis or Memcached integration is built in, making it straightforward to cache frequently used data.
- A mature testing ecosystem: PHPUnit and Pest make it easy to cover both unit and feature tests as the application grows.
- Works well as an API-only backend: Laravel can serve purely as an API layer behind a React or Next.js frontend, not just traditional server-rendered pages.

Full-scope Laravel development services
RESTful API Development
We build Laravel APIs designed to be consumed by a separate frontend - React, Next.js, or a mobile app - rather than only traditional server-rendered views.
Eloquent ORM & Database Design
We design database schemas and Eloquent models that match how your application actually queries and updates data, avoiding the N+1 query problems that show up later.
Authentication with Sanctum or Passport
We implement token-based API authentication suited to your client - Sanctum for a first-party SPA or mobile app, Passport when full OAuth2 is required.
Queue & Background Job Processing
We offload slow or scheduled work - emails, reports, notifications - to Laravel's queue system, keeping user-facing requests fast.
Payment & Third-Party Integrations
We integrate payment providers and local requirements - the same work behind Cuttime's Swish payments and BankID authentication, taken from wireframes to a working prototype in 2 months.
Testing with PHPUnit & Pest
We cover business logic and API endpoints with automated tests, catching regressions before they reach production.
Compliance-Grade Platform Development
We build platforms that need to hold up to real regulatory scrutiny - the same rigor behind TFS Compliance's Laravel backend, built to COBie standards and extended over 2 years.
Legacy Laravel Modernisation & Ongoing Support
We take over existing Laravel codebases, modernise what needs it, and provide ongoing support - the same approach we used with Spark over a 16-month engagement.
Laravel fits everything from straightforward content-driven sites to complex, data-intensive platforms - and works equally well as a traditional server-rendered application or as a pure API backend behind a React or Next.js frontend. That's the pattern behind Spark, where we took over an existing Laravel application, modernised its frontend, and kept supporting it for 16 months.

Why choose Dev and Deliver as your Laravel development partner
Engagements that run for years
We stick around - our engagement with Spark ran 16 months after we took over their existing Laravel application, and our work with TFS Compliance extended to 2 years.
Traditional or API-only, as needed
Traditional Laravel where that fits, or an API-only Laravel backend behind a React or Next.js frontend when a project needs more custom UI - we size the architecture to the project.
Shipped on compliance-grade platforms
Our engineers have shipped Laravel in compliance-grade platforms, booking and payments systems, and long-running legacy modernisation projects.
Compliance-grade quality assurance
Automated tests and code review are part of how we ship Laravel projects, keeping long-term maintenance costs down - the same discipline behind TFS Compliance's Laravel backend, which has held up to COBie compliance standards for 2 years.
05
How our Laravel development team is built and managed
Most Laravel engagements run with a backend engineer experienced in Eloquent and Laravel's queue and auth systems, a QA engineer covering both unit and feature tests, and a project manager keeping delivery on track - with a frontend engineer added when the project pairs Laravel with a React or Next.js client.
We work in Agile sprints with clear communication and regular reviews, so the project evolves with confidence, not surprises.
