Laravel API Architecture Guide for Morocco (2026)

A practical 2026 guide to building production-grade APIs with Laravel, aimed at Moroccan freelancers and teams. The author asserts Laravel remains the top PHP framework for APIs and draws on 40+ shipped projects to recommend specific tools and patterns: Eloquent ORM, Sanctum for auth, Scout for full-text search, Queues with Horizon, Octane (Swoole/RoadRunner) for performance, and ecosystem tools like Telescope and Vapor. The guide outlines a standard project structure, best practices (URL versioning, FormRequests, API Resources, services/DTOs), security and rate-limiting advice, authentication flows for SPAs and mobile, deployment options (Forge with DigitalOcean/Hetzner, Vapor on AWS, Cloudways, Coolify), and typical Moroccan project budgets and timelines. FAQs cover PHP version (8.3+), API documentation tools (Scribe/Scramble), and timezone/work practices for Morocco (GMT+1).
