Do you keep track of your Laravel apps? Is your framework version out of date? Is your cron job running?
Larasapien helps you monitor everything for your app: Laravel and PHP versions, debug mode status, cache status, scheduler activity, and more.
Hello, PH community! I'm Rolando, founder of Elliptic Marketing and maker of Larasapien π₯³
# Our story
We're a marketing agency developing tons of Laravel apps each year. The problem with having so many applications is that keeping track of them all becomes a hassle. We never knew which apps needed to be upgraded. Is Laravel 9 still getting updates? How about PHP 7.4? Who knows. π€·ββοΈ
This is all of the stuff we kept having to check manually for each app:
π» Is this Laravel version still supported?
π Can we still use this PHP version?
β±οΈ Did we set up the scheduler Cron correctly?
π Did we disable debug mode?
πββοΈ Is Redis running?
π Did we cache all routes and config?
π¨Is the app even running? π²
We tried using a Google Sheet to track all of this stuff, but that quickly became a mess of outdated information and frustration. π
# Scratching our itch
So we built Larasapien, an automated tool to check all this stuff and notify us if we need to take action.
Whenever we build a new app, we install Larasapien and forget about it. If something goes wrong, we'll receive an email instantly. If our dependencies are nearing the end of life, we'll get an email a few weeks in advance.
We enjoy using Larasapien so much that we decided to share it with the world. If you develop Laravel apps, give it a try. Your first apps are free. Forever.
Don't use Laravel, but still want to share your thoughts? We'd love to hear from you! π’
Hey Rolando! Congrats on creating Larasapien, it sounds like a real game-changer for Laravel developers. How does Larasapien handle updates and compatibility with new PHP versions? π
@goyashy We keep a database of Laravel and PHP versions based on their releases. We match those against the version in your app. If we see that your Laravel or PHP version is nearing "end of life", we send you an email alert so you can upgrade it.
This looks like a great tool for Laravel developers! I'm curious, does Larasapien also provide notifications or alerts when any of the monitored aspects of the app are not functioning properly? It would be really helpful to have real-time updates and be able to take action immediately. Also, have you considered integrating with popular monitoring platforms like New Relic or Datadog? That would make it even more convenient for developers to centralize all their monitoring in one place. Great job on creating this tool!
