May 15-16, New York hosts the Laracon conference on Laravel.
And, of course, Taylor Ottell performed on it. At the beginning of his report, he simply talked about future plans in terms of developing a framework and about the community.
But the main part of his report was taken by the announcements of his new products!

First, he presented
Homestead - the “box” for Vagrant, which includes everything you might need for development on Laravel.
But the second announcement deserves more attention! Welcome under the cut!
Laravel FORGE

Forge (eng. Forge) is a service for Laravel developers that allows you to very quickly deploy instances from Laravel to popular cloud services such as AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode and Rackspace. In fact, Forge can be used for any PHP frameworks, it is just a little more sharpened by Laravel.
What you need to do in order to use Forge:
- Sign up (registration will open on May 19)
- Specify the API key for the desired cloud services.
- Profit!

Each server is Ubuntu 14.04, PHP 5.5, Nginx, Postgres, MySQL, Redis and much more. All this can be configured.
