Looking over the table of contents of the book, I don’t think I saw anything about deployment / server management.
I’m curious for ROAST if you make use of Laravel Vapor, and if not, then what?
In other words, do you have a preferred solution for releasing an app that can scale well to handle thousands of users?
Hey @jon,
We self host Docker Swarm on Vultr.
It’s worked very well for us and we’re able to replicate production locally, which is a huge help when we’re dealing with a complicated stack (Redis, Meilisearch, Queues, Websockets, etc).
Check this out for how to install ROAST from the ground up: https://gitlab.com/serversideup/roast/roast-api/-/blob/production/README.md
We don’t talk about deploying to production much in the book (because that would require a whole new book of its own), but you can see how our automated deployments work with Gitlab here: https://gitlab.com/serversideup/roast/roast-api/-/blob/production/.gitlab-ci.yml
