Course creators: member portal using Laravel

Summary

A member portal blueprint for course creators built with Laravel on Ample. Domain schema: course_groups (name, start_at, end_at, capacity): cohorts as course groups; memberships (course_group_id, member_email, role, joined_at): learner and instructor membership; sessions (course_group_id, starts_at, title, recording_object_key): session events and recordings; materials (course_group_id, title, object_key, visibility): teaching materials; document_access (document_id, principal_reference, role, granted_at): who may read which document. Public information: course catalog and syllabus, instructor profile, schedule. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: learner progress and grades, recordings showing learners, payment status. Recordings and progress data are personal data; materials are authorized per course group. Technical basis verified on Laravel: a role-to-document access model with negative tests (401 without identity, 403 for the wrong role) and a private-bucket round-trip for the allowed role (private=ok).

• I need a genuinely specialized member portal workflow covering course structure, member entitlements and downloadable materials.

Resource Requirements

• primitive:compute
• primitive:postgres
• primitive:s3-compatible-object-storage

Infrastructure Requirements

1. Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
2. Postgres: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.
3. S3-compatible object storage: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

Execution Status

• Framework: Laravel
• Workload: Member portal
• Industry: Course creators
• Release Status: published
• Support Status: verified
• Execution Status: ready

Prerequisites

• A Laravel project (composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL (auto-provisioned when omitted)
• Bucket credentials from ample bucket create passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
• A review of which course creators data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

Workflow Steps

1. Model the course creators domain: Create the tables course_groups, memberships, sessions, materials, document_access. Cohorts as course groups lives in course_groups; keep the sensitive classes (learner progress and grades, recordings showing learners, payment status) out of this schema.
2. Workflow step 1: Model groups, memberships and roles.
3. Workflow step 2: Authorize access to materials by membership and role (401, 403 negative tests).
4. Workflow step 3: Store materials in the private bucket and stream them through the app.
5. Workflow step 4: Deploy and verify the negative tests and an authorized download.
6. Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.
7. Verify: Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/private-document-library) and your own acceptance checks for the course creators workflow.

Limitations

• The technical basis (private document library on Laravel) was verified with the pattern fixture; the course creators schema and workflow are an original design for this blueprint and were not executed as a separate application.
• No health, financial, privacy or other compliance claim is made. Recordings and progress data are personal data; materials are authorized per course group.
• Public content and synthetic examples only until actual data-handling requirements have been reviewed.
• Verified on the php-8.5 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; region, request-duration limits and other sizes are unknown or unverified.
• Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified.
