Infinite Scale: Deploying and Scaling Laravel on Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Shows a concrete path to run Laravel on Kubernetes: Docker image with PHP‑FPM and nginx, configMaps for nginx, base64‑encoded Secrets, and an ingress plus Service for load balancing. Uses kubectl apply to deploy a few YAML files, then a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler driven by an average request‑time metric (example target 1000 ms, min/max replicas). Demo uses 25 concurrent requests and shows response time dropping from about 15s to ~0.1s as pods scale up, working end to end.
