Creator businesses: documentation site using Laravel

A documentation site blueprint for creator businesses built with Laravel on Ample.

Domain schema:
- customer_workspaces (name, membership_tier, joined_at): member accounts or communities;
- content_items (title, tier_required, object_key, published_at, version): versioned content releases;
- customer_assets (workspace_id, title, object_key, visibility): downloads granted to a member;
- releases (content_item_id, version, notes): release notes per version;
- state_transitions (record_type, from_state, to_state): the allowed state machine.
Public information: free content and previews, membership tiers, creator profile.
Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: member identity and payment status, private community posts.
Technical basis verified on Laravel: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true).

Creator businesses: documentation site using Laravel
Where can I host Creator businesses: Documentation site built with Laravel?
I need a genuinely specialized documentation site workflow covering sponsor/client workspaces, publication guides and content assets.

Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
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.
CDN: The CDN host serves objects from published buckets. It does not front app compute and is not a cache or key-value store.

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 and a published bucket for public assets (CDN_*)
A review of which creator businesses data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only.

Template: php-8.5
Runtime: php
Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
Install Command: composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist --no-interaction --no-progress --optimize-autoloader
Start Command: frankenphp php-server --listen :$PORT --root public

Model the creator businesses domain: Create the tables customer_workspaces, content_items, customer_assets, releases, state_transitions. Member accounts or communities lives in customer_workspaces; keep the sensitive classes (member identity and payment status, private community posts) out of this schema.
Publish assets for released versions to the CDN bucket.
Serve only published versions publicly.
Deploy and verify the version list and a published page.
Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.
- Command: ample deploy . --name --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... --env CDN_PUBLIC_URL=...
Verify: Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/relational-records) and your own acceptance checks for the creator businesses workflow.
- Command: ample logs --kind build

Laravel pattern fixture: Verified relational records basis for this blueprint.
- Source Reference: tests/deploy-canaries/laravel-patterns

App responds on its public URL:
- Kind: http_get
- Path: /
- Expect: ample canary laravel patterns
Relational-records self-test from the example:
- Kind: http_get
- Path: /p/relational-records
- Expect: see the pattern fixture checks.

The technical basis (relational records on Laravel) was verified with the pattern fixture; the creator businesses 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. Member payment status comes from your payment provider; it is not modeled here and no PCI claim is made.
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.

Currency: USD
Monthly Amount: $10.0
Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.
- Components:
  1. App server:
    - Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
    - Quantity: 1.0
    - Monthly Amount: $5.0
  2. Managed PostgreSQL database:
    - Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
    - Quantity: 1.0
    - Monthly Amount: $5.0

Kind: canary_run
Summary: Laravel pattern fixture deployed on Ample (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); the relational records checks passed: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true). The blueprint's Creator businesses schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed.
