## Host event registration with Laravel: data exports

### Summary
Deploy a event registration built with Laravel on Ample using the generated downloads 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: an export query rendered to a CSV artifact stored with metadata in a private bucket and returned only to an authorized caller (401 without token, export=ok rows=3). Not separately tested: your export formats, retention policy and entitlement model; treat the event registration-specific behavior as your application code.

### Representative Queries
- Host event registration with Laravel: data exports
- Where can I host Event registration built with Laravel?
- I need a scoped export format, artifact generation and authorized download procedure.

### 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
Event registration

### 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 generated downloads: an export query rendered to a CSV artifact stored with metadata in a private bucket and returned only to an authorized caller (401 without token, export=ok rows=3). 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. `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/generated-downloads) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read `ample logs --kind build` then `--kind runtime`. `ample logs --kind build`

### Examples
- **Laravel pattern fixture**: Multi-pattern Laravel app whose generated downloads module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules.

### Success Checks
- app responds on its public URL
- generated-downloads self-test

### 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 event registration itself (your export formats, retention policy and entitlement model) is application code and was not separately tested.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

### Cost Estimate
- **Currency**: USD
- **Monthly Amount**: 10.0
- **Components**:  
  - App server: s-1vcpu-1gb (Monthly Amount: 5.0)  
  - Managed PostgreSQL database: s-1vcpu-1gb (Monthly Amount: 5.0)

### Evidence Summary
- Deployment information and checks performed on the Laravel pattern fixture deployed on Ample.
