Open source optimization and security level complemented by potential enhancement in module development

  • July 10, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

The main use cases for the Laravel PHP Framework are the branch locator and multiple API creations, which I use for running APIs, executing the display of product data, and backend processing.

What is most valuable?

What I find beneficial in the Laravel PHP Framework is that it is open source, and the code optimization is executed programmatically by default. Its built-in tools and levels allow for quick application development, and its security features are good, requiring very little maintenance, while multiple tools and executing plugins are readily available.

What needs improvement?

In the Laravel PHP Framework, areas that I would like to see improved include enhancements in modules to better manage the crawling of data from the database and executing calls on that data.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the Laravel PHP Framework for the last four to five years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

The initial setup of the Laravel PHP Framework was straightforward, though I encountered some challenges regarding compatibility issues. These issues included using the latest Laravel versions with older PHP versions and managing multiple libraries that needed to be downloaded and included, which posed challenges when migrating older applications to the latest versions.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not experienced any downtimes or crashes with the Laravel PHP Framework.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I find it scalable and have not had any scalability issues at all.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before working with the Laravel PHP Framework, I only had experience with Cake and Zend Framework.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of the Laravel PHP Framework was straightforward, though I encountered some challenges regarding compatibility issues. These issues included using the latest Laravel versions with older PHP versions and managing multiple libraries that needed to be downloaded and included, which posed challenges when migrating older applications to the latest versions.

What other advice do I have?

Apart from Drupal, I work with other technologies including PHP, MySQL, React, Bootstrap, and CSS.

With PHP, I use the Laravel PHP Framework. I have experience using Eloquent ORM in the Laravel PHP Framework in a LAMP stack. In the database, I exclusively use MySQL. I have utilized the Blade templating engine with MariaDB.

The impact of Laravel's modular packaging system on development processes is significant as it requires setting up your web server and PHP installation, with Apache executing the code in the view root directory.

The robust set of security features like protection against CSRF and SQL injections is critical in ensuring application security. In my development process, SQL injection attacks on the database are protected by storing all data in encrypted format. Additionally, I focus on proper database design, indexing with PostgreSQL, and creating stored procedures, ensuring that data is validated and checked every time a form is submitted before being inputted into the database.

From a security point of view regarding database security against SQL injections, my first priority is to check what types of data are being sent to the table, ensuring that data is always executed in encrypted format before being stored.

I chose to stay with Laravel because it is built on the Symfony framework, which provides good security as a foundation.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate the Laravel PHP Framework a 7.
