Laravel on Lightsail Containers

Deploying a Laravel project with Docker to Lightsail Container

Patrick Riemer

I recently tried to get Laravel 11 running on AWS Lightsail Container. Mostly because I wanted to know how feasible it is for smaller production projects. I did not find many sources with this particular scenario, so I am sharing here for the case you struggle with the same. If you know any great articles going into this topic, please write me, I will link all good articles here.

Multi-language Laravel with VueJS

Use Laravel translations with a VueJS frontend

In many cases you won’t need to localize your web-application early on. There are many things that speak against it and there are some great articles that go into detail here (e.g. other languages come with other ways to do marketing, resources for customer support), but we are over-engineering our application, so we start localisation.

Basic setup for a new AWS account

Some of you might ask: why AWS? Can’t we use Digital Ocean or [any other generic cloud provider]? You can use basically any cloud provider (or even on-prem) to deploy your solution. I like AWS because you get everything from one single provider. It is also not as expensive as one might assume comparing it to other providers like Digital Ocean, Vultr and others, once you understand the pricing structure and things like saving plans, reserved instances. AWS also has a great support for startups in their partner program and many more.
