Microservices in Laravel
The first article in this newsletter is by Gary Clarke on Ash Allen's blog and he's going to talk about microservices with Laravel. I'll let Gary introduce his own article:
Microservices have become a staple of modern web development for a few reasons — scalability, separation of concerns, independent deployment, and more. But if you’re a Laravel developer, you might assume you need to reach for something like Go or Node.js to get started.
You don’t.
Laravel has everything you need to build small, focused services that talk to each other cleanly — and it comes with the tooling, testability, and developer experience you already know and love.
In this post, I’ll walk you through the exact approach I used to build two Laravel apps that communicate via API — one acting as a microservice that receives webhooks, processes data, and forwards it to another Laravel app that stores and displays the results. It’s the kind of real-world setup you’ll find in modern SaaS platforms and large-scale systems.
