MySQL is Production Ready

MySQL is Generally Available
You can now provision production‑ready MySQL instances with compute ranging from 1 CPU/512 MB RAM up to 8 CPU/32 GB RAM, and storage tiers from 5 GB to 1 TB. Automated daily backups are included, with retention configurable up to 30 days for standard plans and extended retention available on Enterprise plans.Read the docs

​
Automated Preview Environments

Automated Preview Environments
Preview Environments are now available on Growth, Business, and Enterprise plans. For every pull request, Laravel Cloud automatically spins up a fully isolated production‑like environment. You can mirror your live app using either shared or dedicated databases, configure filters to limit previews by branch or PR, and run custom deploy steps such as migrations or seeders.Auto‑cleanup can be enabled to delete environments when PRs close or merge, so you only pay for active environments. These features help you catch bugs early, collaborate across teams, demo confidently, and ship with certainty.Read the docs

Ship Faster With the New Starter Kits

Ship with Starter Kits
You can now deploy production‑ready Laravel applications in under five minutes using the new official Laravel Starter Kits for Laravel, Livewire, React, and Vue. Select a stack, choose a region, customize repository name and visibility, and Laravel Cloud handles the repo creation, deployment configuration, and infrastructure setup.All templates come directly from Laravel’s official GitHub. No existing repository is required. This greatly simplifies launching demos, prototypes, or new apps without setup friction.Learn more about the Laravel Starter Kits

Under Attack Mode

Laravel Cloud Under Attack Mode
We’ve enhanced DDoS protection with an optional Under Attack Mode you can enable during periods of unusual traffic. While DDoS attacks are automatically detected and mitigated, this mode provides an additional layer of protection when you want to safeguard your app proactively.When active, access to your app is restricted, and visitors are presented with a JavaScript challenge before they can reach your app. The feature automatically expires after 24 hours to help prevent unintentional enablement. To enable Under Attack Mode, head to your environment, click on Network, and then Web Application Firewall settings.Learn how to set up Under Attack Mode

​
Improved Metrics and Charts

Laravel Cloud Improved Metrics and Charts
We’ve updated our metrics to offer a more detailed and granular view of resource usage. CPU and memory charts have been refined to highlight trends and spikes, enabling more informed decisions about scaling and optimization. For example, memory charts now display total cache storage usage instead of average cache usage, meaning that if you have one or more replicas, you will now see each replica’s memory usage instead of the average memory.Check your app’s performance

​
MySQL Metrics Land as GA Nears

You can now view real-time CPU, memory, and storage metrics for your MySQL databases. Navigate to your environment, click Resources, and then hit the Cluster card to see all metrics. This addition gives you a fuller picture of database performance and is one of several steps we’re taking as we move closer to MySQL’s general availability. If you’re using MySQL in Laravel Cloud, this brings deeper visibility and greater operational confidence.Check your MySQL database performance

​
Visualize Replica Count

You can now view a replica count chart in your environment’s Metrics tab that shows exactly when autoscaling occurs in your Laravel Cloud applications. The step chart visualizes how each of your App and Worker clusters scale from one to multiple replicas. You can also see when your application was scaled to zero and not incurring compute usage costs due to being stopped manually or hibernating automatically (requires Hibernation to be toggled on). This update helps provide clearer performance and billing insights for each of your Cloud environments.

​
More Flexible Caching

Laravel Cloud’s Redis-compatible key-value stores can now be configured to scale up automatically when usage limits are met. Instead of hard limits that could lead to downtime and require manual intervention, caches can now upsize with zero downtime as they approach monthly data transfer or usage thresholds such as simultaneous connections, commands per second, record size, and request size. Opt in to auto-upsizing by toggling on the “Automatically Upgrade” option of your new or existing Laravel Cloud caches.

​
Slack Alerts

Slack notifications now include a new “Resource Alerts” category for critical runtime issues. You’ll receive real-time alerts anytime CPU, RAM, or disk usage nears its limit or when your compute crashes, making it easier to identify and respond to issues quickly. Set up Slack notifications in Laravel Cloud and opt in to Resource Alerts to make sure you are the first to know when your applications are at risk of downtime or performance degradation.

Greater Cache & Response Header Control

You now have greater control of over your cache and response headers. All Cache-Control and Expires headers set by your application now be fully respected. In addition, you can choose when to purge your Edge Network cache - either manually or automatically on each new deploy. You can also choose to bypass the cache entirely. Finally, you can also override certain response headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security directly in the Cloud environment canvas. Learn more

​
Flexible Backup Retention Window

Laravel Serverless Postgres now allows setting a backup retention window between 0 to 30 days. Previously it was a fixed 7-day window with no flexibility to change the window or opt-out. Choose a backup window that works for your application and save money on storage if your application doesn’t require backups at all. Learn more

Replicate Environments

Create copies of existing environments with all configuration intact. This is an important step towards the team shipping automatic preview environments. This allows you to quickly spin up testing environments, create staging replicas of production, or set up identical workspaces for team members. Replication saves time and ensures consistency across your development workflow. Learn more

​
Stop and Restart Environments

Take manual control of your environment states with our new stop and restart functionality. Unlike hibernation (which happens automatically), this feature lets you explicitly pause environments when you don’t need them and restart them when you do. Perfect for managing costs, scheduling maintenance, or controlling resources during your development cycles. Learn more
