Behind the Scenes of Flare
summary
Flare is an open-source Laravel exception tracker maintained by Spatie; the talk explains its engineering choices for running in production at scale. It describes a domain-based project structure, PHP namespace refactor techniques to move code safely, a minimal-JS approach using Livewire plus TypeScript interfaces and React for heavier screens, and serializing authorization checks from server to client so the UI can render without extra requests.
