Sail's approach is different, in that the development environment's description is included with the rest of the codebase. While Homestead and Valet look quite different on paper, they promote the same general approach to local development, which is also shared by most of the aforementioned solutions: they try to be one-size-fits-all environments for Laravel projects and to manage them all under one roof. Valet, on the other hand, is a lightweight environment for macOS focused on performance, relying on a local installation of PHP instead of a virtual machine, and intended to be used along with other services like DBngin or Takeout to manage other dependencies like databases. How does it compare to its predecessors?Īs a refresher, Homestead is a Vagrant box (a virtual machine) pre-packaged with everything most Laravel applications need, including essential components like PHP, MySQL and a web server (Nginx), but also less-often used technologies like PostgreSQL, Redis or Memcached. The future of Sail appears to be bright, as the Laravel documentation already features it as the preferred way to instal and run Laravel projects locally, a spot that Homestead and Valet occupied for years. Laravel Sail is based on Docker, a technology leveraging containers to essentially package up applications so they can run quickly and easily on any operating system.
It is the most recent addition to a long list featuring official solutions like Homestead and Valet on the one hand, and community efforts like Laragon, Laradock, Takeout and Vessel on the other (according to the GitHub repository, Sail is largely inspired by the latter).
Sail is Laravel's latest development environment.

This post is about what to expect from Laravel Sail, how it works and how to make the most of it it is also a plea to developers to break away from it, in favour of their own, tailored solution.īut before we get there, we need to take a look under the deck, starting with a high-level explanation of what Sail is. The announcement caused a wave of excitement across the community, as a lot of people identified the new environment as a way to finally get into Docker but it also left some confusion in its wake, as Sail introduces an approach to development that is quite different from its predecessors and isn't exactly a guide to becoming a Docker expert.
