Host client portal with Laravel: application activity history

Deploy a client portal built with Laravel on Ample using the transactional workflows pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL. Verified on Laravel: an optimistic version check and an event row written in the same transaction, a stale update rejected, and a history query over the application-owned events (history=2 conflict=rejected). Not separately tested: your domain records, validation rules and concurrency policy; treat the client portal-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host client portal with Laravel: application activity history
• Where can I host Client portal built with Laravel?
• I need an application-owned event schema and tested history queries; not native platform audit logs.

Resource Requirements

• primitive:compute
• primitive:postgres

Infrastructure Requirements

Compute

• Status: verified
• Summary: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.

Postgres

• Status: verified
• Summary: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.

Prerequisites

• A Laravel project that builds and starts with the documented commands.
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime.
• An Ample account token with the necessary permissions.

Workflow Steps

1. Build and Start

• Body: 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. Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL

• Body: The fixture's module implements transactional workflows: Keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.

3. Deploy

• Command: ample deploy . --name --public

4. Verify

• Command: ample logs --kind build

Limitations

• Verified on the php-8.5 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; other sizes & versions not verified.
• The client portal itself is application code and was not separately tested;

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 10.0
• Components:
  • app server: size s-1vcpu-1gb - $5.0
  • managed PostgreSQL database: size s-1vcpu-1gb - $5.0

Evidence Summary

• Canary run: Laravel pattern fixture deployed on Ample.
• Another canary run showed the same Laravel app deployed with a migration.
