FrankenPHP runtime for Laravel Octane

Run your Laravel applications with FrankenPHP, enabling Laravel Octane's high-performance worker mode.

Before: Applications ran with PHP-FPM + Nginx, starting fresh PHP processes for each request. After: FrankenPHP keeps your application in memory, dramatically reducing response times for high-traffic applications.

To enable: Go to your application settings and select "FrankenPHP (Octane)" as your PHP runtime. We automatically configure the Octane start command for you.

Note: Requires PHP 8.3 or higher. Autoscaling is not compatible with FrankenPHP due to the worker-based architecture.

Custom nginx configuration

Add custom nginx server directives directly in your application's security settings.

Use cases include:

  • Custom security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
  • Advanced routing rules
  • Proxy configurations
  • Rate limiting at the server level
  • Custom error pages

Your configuration is validated before deployment to prevent syntax errors.

Quick deploy via git webhooks

Set up automatic deployments with one click. When you push to your repository, your application deploys automatically.

Supported providers:

  • GitHub
  • GitLab
  • Bitbucket

Before: You had to manually configure webhooks in your repository settings. After: Click "Set up quick deploy" in your deployments tab - we create and manage the webhook for you.

You can remove the webhook at any time from the same interface.

Improvements 3 items

Unsaved changes dialog

Application settings now detect when you have unsaved changes and prompt you before navigating away.

When leaving with unsaved changes, you can:

  • Save your changes and continue navigation
  • Discard changes and navigate anyway
  • Cancel and stay on the current page

No more accidentally losing your configuration changes.

Git LFS support

Large files tracked with Git LFS are now properly fetched during the build process.

If your repository uses Git LFS for large assets (images, videos, binaries), they will be available during your build.

Extended command timeout

Remote command execution timeout increased from 60 seconds to 120 seconds.

This gives your commands more time to complete, especially useful for database migrations, cache clearing, or other long-running operations.

API enhancements 2 items

Team API endpoints

New API endpoints for managing team resources programmatically.

Enables automation and integration with external tools for team management workflows.

Command execution endpoints

New API endpoints for executing commands on your application instances.

Run artisan commands, scripts, or any shell command via the API with full output capture.
