BenchKit for Laravel is an open source and containerized Laravel application to help you understand how your host and Laravel configurations are actually performing. We put together this application that runs realistic benchmark tests through Laravel so you can understand the actual performance of your setup. Running BenchKit for Laravel also helps you build faster and more reliable applications.
This application runs completely decentralized and community results are encourage to be shared on X (Twitter) with the hashtag of #BenchKit and #Laravel. View the community results below:
Spin is an open source tool built by Server Side Up to help you run Docker from development → production.

Warning
👷♂️ This project is actively under development.
Please refrain from opening issues or PRs until we have a few things in order. 😃
Usage instructions will be added soon.
Here's common questions to help you understand how this application works.
How does this application work?
This application is a dedicated Laravel application, built as "container first" so you can easily benchmark your VPS or hosting provider. We use Yet Another Bench Script to test your hardware, cfspeed to test your network to CloudFlare, and then we run a series of CRUD tests to benchmark how your application performs.
Do I install this as a Laravel package?
Nope! This is a standalone application that is intended to be run, then easily destroyed once you're done with it.
Can I run this application without Docker?
Yes! Although we do provide a Docker image, you can also clone this repository and run the application on your own PaaS (like Laravel Cloud or DigitalOcean Apps). There are dependencies that need to be installed (like Yet Another Bench Script and cfspeed), but we will be sure to add more documentation once we get the Docker version up and running first.
How can I share my results with the community?
When you run the benchmark, you'll have an option to share your results on X (Twitter) with the hashtag of #BenchKit and #Laravel.
