Why use Laravel for MVP development?

Three reasons. First, the Laravel ecosystem ships with everything an early product needs (auth, Cashier billing, queues, real time, admin) so engineers focus on what makes your product unique. Second, Laravel applications scale well past MVP, so you do not rewrite when you hit growth. Forge, Vapor, and AWS give you a clean upgrade path. Third, Laravel has a huge talent pool (1.5 million plus live applications worldwide) which means hiring engineers post MVP is easier than with niche stacks.
