Host marketplace with Laravel: relational catalog data

Summary

Deploy a marketplace 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 marketplace-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host marketplace with Laravel: relational catalog data
• Where can I host Marketplace built with Laravel?
• I need catalog tables, transactional update logic and application-level access boundaries.

Resource Requirements

• primitive:compute
• primitive:postgres

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.

Execution Status

Prerequisites

1. 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).
2. A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env).
3. An Ample account token with servers:write, databases: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 transactional workflows: 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).
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. ample deploy . --name --public
4. Verify: Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/transactional-workflows) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read ample logs --kind build then --kind runtime.

Examples

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

Success Checks

1. App responds on its public URL: [kind: http_get, path: /, expect: ample canary laravel patterns]
2. Transactional-workflows self-test: [kind: http_get, path: /p/transactional-workflows, expect: tx=ok history=2 conflict=rejected]

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 marketplace itself (your domain records, validation rules and concurrency policy) 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.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 10.0
• Basis: size prices from pricing.toml (loaded by the API) at build revision 1ac5595375130d45290090e82ed0f554ccd45405-dirty
