👇Unpopular reality:
I bought a M1 Max Macbook Pro (64 GB RAM) for $4,100 at launch.
This year, I bought a M1 Mac Mini (8 GB of RAM) for a home computer for $575.
Both machines run the same development projects.
I notice ZERO difference in performance.

🤖 Swarm/K8s (Containers)

⚠️ Uptime Kuma (Uptime Monitoring)

Spin is like Laravel Sail, but Dev → Production.

Beta coming soon. Stay tuned 👀

What if I built a
#Laravel
Sail alternative, but you could manage a server using Docker in production? 🤔
This means you're not just running Docker in development.
You'd be able to run a server on DO/Vultr for $5/mo and have zero-downtime deployments.
Would you use it?

Excited to launch Spin 2.0! 🚀
Deploy Laravel with no downtime & 100% environment replication on any OS. All open source.

It's not all either. See the video 🤫

Was this with an Apple Silicon mac?
I would agree that getting at least 16 GB for development is a good idea.
But since this is my home machine, I was just like -- just use Swap! 🤠

So here's my plan for getting Spin (a Laravel Sail, but for production) off the ground:
We have an open source Mint/YNAB alternative called Financial Freedom written in Laravel + Inertia.

Someone in our Discord just did a benchmark test of our PHP Docker images vs the official PHP images.

Yup... docker-php-extension-installer is definitely going into serversideup/php.
It took our Alpine image from 597 MB (uncompressed) down to 108 MB (uncompressed). 😵
Very easy developer experience too.
More optimizations in the works 💪
Installing PHP extensions by hand is challenging. Knowing which packages to install beforehand is difficult.
What do you think of serversideup/php installing this project from

I found it from the official PHP documentation.

If you're not self-hosting, you might want to reconsider.
