LaraNext

Welcome to the LaraNext project. This personal project aims to provide a functional Docker configuration with Next.js in the frontend and Laravel in the backend. The selected database system is PostgreSQL.

What's up

LaraNext configuration is pretty simple. Its environment has been designed to offer a high-performance development tool capable of being propelled into production.

Laravel 7.20

Nginx
PHP 7.4
Memcached
Redis
Postgres

Please note that it's entirely possible to replace Laravel with Lumen if you wish to benefit from a lighter backend.
