The platform boasts a robust ecosystem with many pre-built solutions and packages, facilitating faster development. Its clean architecture makes it easier to maintain and scale projects. Eloquent ORM simplifies database management, while built-in security features protect against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF attacks.
Picking a framework for Quuu was a no-brainer back in 2005 - Laravel all the way!
1. It's a breeze to work with. The code reads like English, which means less head-scratching and more building.
2. Database stuff? Laravel's got my back with Eloquent ORM. It's like magic for managing all our user and subscription data.
3. Security's baked in. SQL injection, CSRF - Laravel handles the scary stuff so I can sleep at night.
4. The ecosystem is gold. Need subscription billing? There's a package for that. Saved me tons of time.
5. When I'm stuck, the docs and community are lifesavers. Always find what I need.
Not tried any alternatives as just haven't need one.
