#LaravelCloud just charged me $5 for an app with zero traffic and no hibernation. That’s it, I’m outtie.

There are many other competitors with a mature platform for PHP projects and better specs. Plus, their “Free” tier does well hiding the “+ usage” that is charged. If that’s how they play ball I’m not going back.

I see people are getting their #LaravelCloud bills, I looked at it, thought it was great for the right use cases, but, for me local #coolify is a more sensible option for dev and testing. #php #laravel

#laravel world, loving the look of #laravelcloud, but I want to go a different route and #dockerize my apps for development and production. Does any #laravel dev have guides for running apps for dev and prod in docker?
