If you missed the incredible Laracon US Keynote delivered by Laravel creator Taylor Otwell, you can now watch it in full on YouTube. The keynote is packed with new Laravel content, ranging from an Official VS Code extension to exciting framework updates like the defer() function, Inertia v2, and Laravel Cloud.
[2024] has been a very busy year for us at Laravel. In fact, it probably marked the biggest shift in the company's history. At the very beginning of this year, Laravel as a company was me [Taylor Otwell] and like nine other people. Now we are a team of over thirty full-time employees...but why did we do this? Why did we hire so many new people? The reason is because we have been tackling some of the most ambitious and exciting projects that we've ever worked on as a company.
The most significant announcement from the keynote is by far the reveal of Laravel Cloud—be sure to sign up for the waiting list after watching the keynote. If you want a quick overview of the keynote highlights, check out our Highlights from Taylor Otwell's Laracon US Keynote 2024 post.
