Which deployment tool to deploy your Laravel app?

It all depends on the complexity of the deployment process.

• In the past, I provisioned everything myself and used [Deployer (https://deployer.org/).
• Currently, for simple sites, I use deployment flow baked into Laravel Forge
• For more demanding projects (with a complex deployment process, that requires instant rollbacks in case of critical bugs) I use Envoyer on servers provisioned by Laravel Forge.
• Recently I've been dipping my toes into serverless Laravel and I've been using Laravel Vapor

When bootstrapping your product it's wise to avoid unnecessary expenses, but don't be to be too frugal. Saving a few bucks a month might be beneficial over the short term but keep the long run in mind. A moment when everything goes in flames is a bad time to learn about rollbacks. Paying a few $/month for having a UI/command to roll back your app and database will not only save you time & nerves but will also save your product's reputation.

I use Envoyer and Laravel for one project and AWS CodePipeline and ECS for another project.
