LaravelDaily/Large-Laravel-PHP-Project-Examples
A curated list of links to real-world Laravel/PHP projects with traffic and revenue numbers, maintained by Povilas Korop (LaravelDaily). It exists to counter the 'PHP doesn't scale' narrative with receipts — actual founders, actual numbers, actual infrastructure. No code, no tutorials, just evidence.
The sources are specific and named — real people, real URLs, not anonymous blog posts. The scale range is useful: from a $2.5k MRR indie app to half a billion requests/month at Treblle, so it covers the full spectrum. The in-depth articles (Fathom, Geocodio, Mateus Guimarães on 30k req/sec) are genuinely worth reading and link out to serious engineering write-ups. It's actively maintained — most social media posts are from 2025.
It's a README with links, not a searchable database, so as it grows it becomes harder to find relevant examples for a given use case. There's no information about failures — every story here is a success, which makes it feel like confirmation bias even if the individual data points are real. The social media screenshots are the weakest evidence: unverifiable, no infrastructure details, and some look like humble-brags rather than technical case studies. No contribution guidelines beyond a single email address at the bottom.
