I recently migrated a few of my projects to Laravel Cloud, and I'm very happy so far 🙌 Scale-to-zero is a great feature! Unfortunately I'm getting so much automated bot traffic so that my apps are not sleeping most of the time. Anyone else experiencing the same? 🤔

What kind of traffic? Maybe this will help: https://laravel-news.com/laravel-cloud-adds-path-blocking-to-prevent-bots-from-waking-hibernated-apps

Laravel NewsLaravel Cloud Adds Path Blocking to Prevent Bots From Waking Hibernated AppsLaravel Cloud now supports path blocking, letting you stop bot requests to common paths and file types from waking hibernated applications.

Yeah, path blocking is already enabled by default, but it doesn't block everything. There's still a lot of automated traffic from bots, scrapers, vulnerability scanners, etc...

Oops for some reason I thought the block list was configurable. It must be a shared config pushed out to the edge.
