Benchmark for Laravel Docker/Sail based apps

The present repo is a clone of the source code for "Build a Voting App" series on Laracasts: https://laracasts.com/series/build-a-voting-app. This great project is used to measure the performance of different computers with the goal of finding the ideal and most efficient laptop for PHP Web Developers.

Requirements

You need Docker Desktop or Docker with docker-compose already installed and running for the following steps to work. It's important that the benchmarks are run in a Docker environment because most modern web development is done like this.

Installation

1. Clone this repo (laravel_docker_benchmark) and cd into it
2. Rename or copy .env.example file to .env
3. chmod +x ./build.sh
4. ./build.sh
5. ./sail up -d
6. ./sail artisan key:generate
7. ./sail artisan migrate
8. ./sail npm install
9. ./sail npm run dev

Run Benchmarks

1. ./sail artisan db:seed Take note of the time reported at the end (it's seconds)
2. ./sail artisan test Take note of the time reported at the end

Try out the app

1. Visit http://localhost in your browser if you're curious about the app itself.
