Host campaign site with Laravel: public-site delivery

Deploy a campaign site built with Laravel on Ample using the public web service pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, and a published bucket serves public assets from the CDN host. Verified on Laravel: a versioned, immutable-cached asset uploaded to a published bucket and served from the CDN URL alongside the app's own public HTTPS URL. Not separately tested: your site content and build; treat the campaign site-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host campaign site with Laravel: public-site delivery
• Where can I host Campaign site built with Laravel?
• I need an explicit origin-to-CDN delivery path and a tested public content build.

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start
   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 server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.

2. Wire object storage
   Create the bucket(s), then pass endpoint, region, bucket and keys as --env values. Use path-style addressing. Keep private data in an unpublished bucket. Publish only the bucket that serves public assets and reference its CDN URL.

3. Deploy
   Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). 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=...

4. Verify
   Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/versioned-static-assets) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read ample logs --kind build then --kind runtime.

   • Command:
     ample logs --kind build

Examples

• Laravel pattern fixture:
  Multi-pattern Laravel app whose public web service module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules.

Success Checks

• app responds on its public URL
• versioned-static-assets self-test
  • Path: /p/versioned-static-assets

Limitations

• Verified on the php-8.5 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Laravel major versions are not verified.
• The campaign site itself (your site content and build) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 5.0
• 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.
