Laravel, across nine platforms that are still in production.

Why it's harder than it looks

The visible part of a Laravel app is the easy part. What's hard is queue and job design that doesn't silently drop work under load, database schema decisions that don't demand a rewrite once the data grows 10x, and authorization logic that holds up when a regulated, deadline-driven process depends on it. Nine production Laravel builds is what that experience actually looks like, not a claim about liking the framework.
