Looks quite complicated ;-)

You can use a Backend-for-Frontend Pattern with something like Nuxt or Next.js something like this

I'm a Laravel dev and just shipped a native app on iOS and Android (SwiftUI + Compose), written almost entirely by Claude Code. What mattered more than prompting: 1. Let the grill-with-docs skill interrogate me first: 5 ADRs before launch 2. CLAUDE.md with hard rules: read-only…

But with Clouflare Pages my app is not hosted on Laravel Cloud anymore right?

Luigi already mentioned using Cloudflare Access to lock down private apps, but also using Cloudflare Workers/Pages to host a front end is a great way to reduce requests needlessly hitting your Laravel app.

Yeah, always on a hunt for some security issue :-)

every app gets visits from bots looking for wp-login.php, even the ones that never had wordpress 😅

the real test is whether your /.env answers 404, that's the whole reason laravel serves from public/ 🔥

It needs to be public, it's my company website

If your app isn't public facing, and you're able to, try using Cloudflare Access. It does a fantastic job of killing off all the bots hitting my apps.

I am wondering, how does your app stay at zero when every few minutes there is a request from a bot trying to reach some config files that do not exist and the app is back online again?

I got my first Laravel Cloud bill 👀 - 1 database + 3 days of backups - 5 applications All of them use "scale-to-zero". Total costs: $11.97…

Marc @stausmarOct 29

Definitely an issue, and I’d hope Laravel Cloud would block more of these requests for us on the edge. What I do is, I try to block as much of these requests as possible on Cloudflare, by applying rules. This works quite well, but yeah, still a lot of potential to block more…
