Is Laravel suitable for enterprise applications?

Yes. Laravel runs in production at companies including Pfizer, BBC, Deloitte, Square, MasterCard, and a range of Fortune 500 organisations. The framework supports the core enterprise requirements out of the box: SSO and SAML through Socialite or Sanctum, role based access control through Spatie Permission or Bouncer, audit logging through Activitylog or custom event listeners, GDPR readiness through built in encryption and data export support, and scale through Octane plus Horizon plus Redis. The question is rarely 'can Laravel handle enterprise', it is 'is the vendor delivering the Laravel application capable of meeting enterprise governance requirements'.
