Laravel Web Applications

Laravel is where business rules become enforceable. When a process lives in someone's head or in a shared spreadsheet, it is fragile; when it lives in the application, it is consistent.

I use Laravel for systems that need real structure: order workflows, operational dashboards, internal tools, and integrations where several sources of truth have to be reconciled.

public function approve(Order $order)
{
    return DB::transaction(function () use ($order) {
        $order->transitionTo('approved', auth()->user());
        $this->inventory->reserve($order);
        $this->notify->customerApproved($order);

        return $order->fresh();
    });
}

The point of code like this is not cleverness — it is that approval, inventory and notification cannot drift apart, and that the rule is written down somewhere a reviewer can find it.
