Why Scaling Laravel

The first time I put code into a load balanced environment, I accidentally gave away thousands of dollars in prizes within a few minutes 😰.

After pulling an all-nighter to get the code complete under the deadline, I pushed up code that was *not* ready to be in a scaled architecture. I was clueless.

That night was terrible chaos, but it's what made me decide to learn more about servers!

In the following years, I learned a lot about servers. It turns out that scaling your application isn't necessarily hard, but there is a lot to know!

This course aims to help you navigate setting your application up to scale without suffering the same pain I did.
