I have been starting new laravel projects in the past two years, so I have used a lot of tools for deploying the environment. To be honest, I was really amazed by laravel forge when I first came into contact with it, but I soon encountered some problems, such as high costs and untimely updates. Now I am using MAMP, Servbay, and Docker. Currently, Servbay is the most cost-effective
I have always struggled to deploy sites. Even as an experienced dev it was headache after headache. Forge made everything super easy. Even stuff like adding SSL to the site was literally just the click of 1 button and boom, you're sorted. The only two things I might suggest to them is that when you link your repository, you it could detect what your stack is e.g. Laravel/Vue and push some stack-specific documentation in your direction, and I struggled to find out how to change my domain name from "default" - it was contained in a section named Meta, but I might have expected to see that in "settings".
Deploying web apps can be a challenge as it involves several technicalities and careful considerations. However, with the unique capabilities of Forge, It is quite effective as a server management tool and can save a company from the hassles of deployment errors.
