## The short version

A documentation site blueprint for developer tools built with Laravel on Ample. Domain schema: customer_workspaces (name, plan, api_key_count): customer organizations; doc_versions (product_version, title, object_key, published_at): versioned reference docs and guides; sdk_releases (language, version, changelog_object_key, released_at): SDK releases and changelogs; customer_assets (workspace_id, title, object_key, visibility): customer-specific artifacts; state_transitions (record_type, from_state, to_state): the allowed state machine. Public information: versioned API reference and guides, SDK release notes, status page links. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: customer API keys and usage logs, private integration details. API keys and usage logs are secrets or personal data; keep them out of documentation workflows. Technical basis verified on Laravel: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true).

## What it needs

- [Compute](/content/discover/primitive/compute/index.html): verified (Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs; sizes are the priced VM sizes.)
- [Postgres](/content/discover/primitive/postgres/index.html): verified (Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.)
- [CDN](/content/discover/primitive/cdn/index.html): verified (A published bucket's objects are served at its public_url. It does not front app compute and is not a cache or key-value store.)

## Before you start

- A Laravel project (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 (auto-provisioned when omitted)
- Bucket credentials from `ample bucket create` passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables and a published bucket for public assets (CDN_*)
- A review of which developer tools data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

## How to do it

1. **Model the developer tools domain**  
   Create the tables customer_workspaces, doc_versions, sdk_releases, customer_assets, state_transitions. Customer organizations live in customer_workspaces; keep the sensitive classes (customer API keys and usage logs, private integration details) out of this schema.

2. **Workflow step 1**  
   Model versioned documents with a state machine (draft, review, published) scoped to a product version

3. **Workflow step 2**  
   Publish assets for released versions to the CDN bucket

4. **Workflow step 3**  
   Serve only published versions publicly

5. **Workflow step 4**  
   Deploy and verify the version list and a published page

6. **Deploy**  
   Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.
   
   ```
   ample deploy . --name <app-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=...
   ```

7. **Verify**  
   Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/relational-records) and your own acceptance checks for the developer tools workflow.
   
   ```
   ample logs <deployment_id> --kind build
   ```

## Tested examples

- **Laravel pattern fixture** (`tests/deploy-canaries/laravel-patterns`): Verified relational records basis for this blueprint.

## How to know it worked

- app responds on its public URL (`/` on the live URL, expect ample canary laravel patterns)
- relational-records self-test from the example (`/p/relational-records` on the live URL, expect see the pattern fixture checks)

## Cost estimate

Estimated 10.00 USD per month (size prices from pricing.toml at build revision ca0b484a7a9957c573a88d3a32dc603c3c10135a).

- app server x1 `s-1vcpu-1gb`: 5.00 USD
- managed PostgreSQL database x1 `s-1vcpu-1gb`: 5.00 USD

Upper-bound monthly price of the tested sizes. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.

## Verification evidence

- canary_run on 2026-09-20T20:36:21Z at revision `118ad1c6d7d23d4c2ce069254bab9ec9d37cd57b (CLI 118ad1c)`: Laravel pattern fixture deployed on Ample (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 relational records checks passed: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true). The blueprint's Developer tools schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed. (expires 2027-03-19T20:36:21Z)
