Laravel Hosting in the Cloud
Queue Workers, Horizon and Scheduler as managed processes. Highly available, scalable at any time, hosted in Germany. Deployed in minutes.
Laravel Hosting without server administration – deploy instead of configure
Laravel Hosting on LAY7 cloud means you focus on your application, not infrastructure. Your Laravel app runs on a managed cloud platform with queue workers, Horizon, Scheduler and WebSockets as separate processes – each one monitored, automatically restarted on crashes, and with its own performance level.
Unlike a traditional VPS with Forge or Ploi, you don't manage a server. No SSH for deployments, no Supervisor for queue workers, no Nginx configuration. You deliver your code, LAY7 cloud takes care of the rest: SSL certificates, backups, logs and the entire Kubernetes infrastructure underneath.
For simple Laravel projects like blogs or landing pages, a Space is all you need – a container-based web space with SSH, Composer and cron jobs, no Docker knowledge required. For production-ready SaaS applications, use Container Deployments with full control over every process.

How to deploy your Laravel app
From zero to production in minutes – no server setup, no DevOps expertise required.
Create a Dockerfile
Define your Laravel environment in a Dockerfile. PHP version, extensions, Composer dependencies – all in one file. For simple apps without Docker, use a Space with SSH and Composer instead.
Push image & configure
Push your Docker image to a registry of your choice – Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or your own private registry. In the dashboard, configure web container, queue worker, Horizon and Scheduler as separate processes – each with its own performance level.
Deploy & scale
One click starts the deployment. Boot containers can run migrations before the app starts, then runtime containers launch with the new code. As traffic grows, scale CPU and RAM with a click – no server migration required.
Everything your Laravel app needs in production
LAY7 cloud understands Laravel workflows. Queue workers, Scheduler and WebSockets are not workarounds – they are first-class processes.
Queue Workers & Horizon
artisan queue:work and artisan horizon run as dedicated runtime containers on LAY7 cloud's Kubernetes infrastructure. On crashes, automatic restart happens within seconds – no Supervisor, no cron job workarounds. Each worker has its own performance level: more capacity for queue-intensive tasks without affecting the web container.
- Automatic restart on crashes
- Dedicated performance level per process
- No Supervisor required
- Logs & status in the dashboard
Reverb, WebSockets & Broadcasting
Laravel Reverb as its own runtime container on LAY7 cloud – real-time broadcasting without third-party services like Pusher or Ably. Your WebSocket server runs permanently alongside web and worker containers, with persistent connections. Ideal for dashboards, chat applications and live notifications.
- No Pusher or Ably required
- Persistent WebSocket connections
- Dedicated scalable process
- Laravel Echo compatible
Managed Database & Backups
MariaDB as a managed service right next to your Laravel containers in the same network. Automatic backups with configurable intervals and one-click restoration. A boot container can run artisan migrate --force before each deployment – no forgotten migrations, no manual SSH.
- Automatic backups
- One-click restoration
- Boot containers for migrations
- Same network, minimal latency
Two ways to run Laravel
For simple apps, a Space with SSH, Composer and cron jobs is all you need. For production applications with queue workers, Horizon or WebSockets, use Container Deployments – each process isolated, with its own performance level, with automatic restarts.
Uptime on Kubernetes infrastructure. Automatic restarts on crashes, isolation between applications. Your app keeps running, even when individual nodes fail.
Queue Workers & Horizon
artisan queue:work and artisan horizon as permanently running runtime containers. Automatic restart within seconds on crashes – no Supervisor, no cron job workarounds.
Boot Containers for Migrations
Configure a boot container that runs artisan migrate --force before each deployment. Then runtime containers start with the new code. No manual SSH, no forgotten migrations.
Reverb & WebSockets
Laravel Reverb as its own runtime container. Broadcasting without third-party services like Pusher. Your WebSocket server runs alongside web and worker, with its own performance level.
- Fully managed platform
- No server management
- Automatic restarts
- Scale with one click
- Manage server yourself
- OS updates, patches, firewall
- Configure Supervisor
- Scale manually
GDPR compliant. Your data and your users' data stays in German data centers. No US Cloud Act, no data transfers to third parties.
Scale anytime
More resources with one click in the dashboard, no server migration. Fewer resources when traffic drops – you only pay for what you use.
