## Host company website with Laravel: bulk content imports

Deploy a company website built with Laravel on Ample using the bulk import staging 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, a private S3-compatible bucket holds objects with credentials delivered as encrypted environment variables. Verified on Laravel: a CSV staged as an object, row-level validation with per-row errors recorded, and a restart-safe import keyed by import id (imported=2 rejected=1 restart=ok). Not separately tested: your import format, mapping and conflict rules; treat the company website-specific behavior as your application code.

### Representative Queries
- Host company website with Laravel: bulk content imports
- Where can I host Company website built with Laravel?
- I need a staged import format, validation procedure and import recovery workflow.

### Resource Requirements
- primitive:compute
- primitive:postgres
- primitive:s3-compatible-object-storage

### Infrastructure Requirements
- **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.
- **S3-compatible object storage**: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

### Framework
**Laravel**

### Workload
**Company website**

### Release Status
**Published**

### Support Status
**Verified**

### Execution Status
**Ready**

### Prerequisites
- A Laravel project that builds and starts with the documented commands (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 at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)
- A bucket from `ample bucket create` with its credentials passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
- An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read, buckets:read

### 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. **Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL**: The fixture's module implements bulk import staging: a CSV staged as an object, row-level validation with per-row errors recorded, and a restart-safe import keyed by import id (imported=2 rejected=1 restart=ok). Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.
3. **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.
4. **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=...
5. **Verify**: Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/bulk-import-staging) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read `ample logs  --kind build` then `--kind runtime`.
   **Command**: ample logs  --kind build

### Success Checks
- app responds on its public URL
   **Kind**: http_get
   **Path**: /  
   **Expect**: ample canary laravel patterns
- bulk-import-staging self-test
   **Kind**: http_get
   **Path**: /p/bulk-import-staging  
   **Expect**: imported=2 rejected=1 restart=ok

### 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 company website itself (your import format, mapping and conflict rules) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.
- Apps auto-pause when idle and wake on the next request; always-on is an operator setting, not a plan feature.
- Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified; apps and their databases are placed together.
- PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; multipart upload, listing, presigned URLs and lifecycle rules are not.

### Cost Estimate
- **Currency**: USD
- **Monthly Amount**: $10.00
- **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.

### Evidence Summary
- **Kind**: canary_run  
  **Summary**: Laravel pattern fixture deployed on Ample; checks passed for bulk-import-staging and configuration-secrets.
  **Observed At**: 2026-09-20T20:36:21Z
  **Business Requirement**: 
- **Detail**: The same Laravel app deployed with a --release-command migration; the marker it created was readable after activation.
