Issue #6

In today’s issue, we’re looking at the latest releases across the Laravel ecosystem, including updates to first-party packages like Laravel Cashier, laravel/ai, and the Laravel framework itself.

There’s plenty to catch up on, from small fixes and developer experience improvements to updates that show how active the Laravel ecosystem continues to be week after week.

We also have some good news: the next episode of the Laravel Magazine Podcast is already in the making, and it will land sooner than you might think.

Sponsor: Vask

Today’s issue is sponsored by Vask, a Pusher-compatible WebSocket service built for Laravel developers who want realtime features without unpredictable pricing. Vask lets you keep using the same Pusher protocol, SDKs, channels, presence, and auth callbacks, while billing per broadcast instead of charging fan-out fees for every subscriber who receives a message. It’s built on Cloudflare’s edge network, offers a free local development tier, and can be migrated to by changing just a few environment variables. 

Vask - Realtime, with unreal pricing. Pusher-compatible websockets, with no fan-out fees, 2 minute migration.
