These past eight months Marcel Pociot, me and our teams at Beyond Code and Spatie have been working on a secret project called Flare. We believe that Flare is going to change the way you work with Laravel. To be kept in the loop subscribe to our mailinglist.
We are going to launch it this Friday at Laracon EU at 16.30 local time (15:30 CET). The Laravel News YouTube channel will live stream the launch. You can watch the stream right below.
From time to time our team needs to create fairly complicated CRUD interfaces from scratch. While this isn't rocket science, there surprisingly aren't that many good resource out there on how to do this. That's why our team dove in and published a couple of packages that can help create modern CRUD…

Earlier this year we released v2 of laravel-event-sourcing. This package is probably the easiest way to getting started with event sourcing in Laravel. A significant feature of v2 was the addition of aggregates.
Today we released another new version of the package that adds test methods. These methods allow you to verify if the aggregate behaves correctly. In this post, I'll show you an example and explain how the test methods are implemented.
These test methods were inspired by the awesome testing methods Frank De Jonge made in his Eventsauce package.
The comment section of this blog used to be powered by Disqus. At its core, Disqus works pretty well. But I don't like the fact that it pulls in a lot of JavaScript to make it work. It's also not the prettiest UI. I've recently replaced Disqus comments with webmentions. If you reply to, like or…
Our team releases a lot of open source packages. All of our packages are well documented. For the smaller packages, we use a simple readme on GitHub. The bigger packages, like medialibrary and event projector get documented on our documentation site. We recently moved our site from a Digital Ocean…
Simon Kollross explains how to use our laravel-backup package to create an encrypted backup of your Laravel based app.
You should always encrypt backups of your apps and securely transfer them to one or multiple backup destinations. If you encrypt the backups on your server and transfer only the encrypted version, your backups are stored encrypted at rest in your backup destination. Not even your backup storage provider is able to read them.

A webhook is a mechanism where an application can notify an other application that something has happened. Technically, the application sends an HTTP request to that other application. In this blog post, I'd like to introduce you to two packages that we recently released. The first is laravel-webhook-server, which allows you to send webhook requests. The second one is laravel-webhook-client, which makes it easy to receive those webhook request.
Imagine you're building that your app can notify your user, but you don't want to send more than one notification in a timeframe of five seconds. How are you going to test the time aspect? Do you have to create a test that takes five minutes?
It's funny that even something as simple as a blog app is never finished. One and a half years ago, I did a significant update my moving my blog from WordPress to a Laravel app. In August of last year, I also ditched my custom admin section in favor of Nova. Even though not that much time has passed, it was time for a refresh of the entire blog.
My colleague Brent offers some insights on a big project we're currently working on at Spatie.
The month May marks the first year anniversary of a client project I've been working on at Spatie. I thought it useful to share some statistics with the community, and give you a feeling of what a "real life web project" might look like.

In this video Jason McCreary creates a PR that adds a null driver to our laravel-newsletter package.
When a request comes in your app will return a response. To create that response, your application has to do some work. Most likely queries will execute. This all takes some time. Wouldn't it be nice if the same request comes in, we can return the response the application has constructed previously?
laravel-validation-rules is a package that contains handy custom validation rules that are being used in various client projects we made at Spatie. Last week I added a new validate rule called Delimited to the package.
In this blog post, I'd like to explain why we added it and how it can be used.
The last few months I gave a talk on how to get started with event sourcing at several conferences and user groups. I took the time to record the talk at home. It's now published on YouTube so everybody can enjoy it.
Recently we've released v2 of laravel-event-projector. The package is probably the easiest way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel. In v2 we've introduced two "invisible" features that improve the developer experience: auto-detection of event handling methods and auto-discovery of event handlers.
Recently we've released v2 of laravel-event-projector. The package is probably the easiest way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel.
One of the prominent new features is support for aggregates. While creating v2, I found it surprising that such a powerful concept could be implemented in so little code. In this short blog post, I'd like to explain how aggregates are coded up.
Our laravel-query-builder package exposed a serious security issue: it allowed SQL injection attacks. Laravel Query Builder v1.17.1, which is now available, fixes the vulnerability. If you're using the package, stop reading now and upgrade to the latest version first. For Laravel 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8…
Laravel event projector is a package that aims to be the entry point for event sourcing in Laravel. It can help you setting up aggregates, projectors and reactors. Earlier today our team released v2. This version streamlines the projectors and reactors from v1 and adds support for aggregates.
In this blogpost I'd like to explain a potential problem with traditionally built applications. After that we'll take a look at what projectors and aggregates are. Finally we'll walk through an example how you can create an aggregate laravel-event-projector.
Our team at Spatie released new package called laravel-queuable-action. On his blog, my colleague Brent explains why we created it and how you can use it.
By introducing the concept of actions, we're able to separate responsibilities between classes better: jobs are used for data serialisation and executing tasks asynchronously; but they are not concerned with business logic anymore.
