> Forge is a laravel only platform
That's incorrect. The page says: "We don’t discriminate: Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, Statamic, Craft and any other PHP application can easily be installed on a Forge server."
> doesn't scale automatically
That's true but I the person to whom I was responding isn't looking for auto-scaling (nor am I presenting it as a GAE competitor). It sounds like he just wants a button to push that'll create a fully operational PHP app server.
- wolco 8y agoIf you wanted say wordpress cpanel hosting will provide a one click button, auto update plus allow you install most popular php software packages easily. Paying 10 or more dollars a month probably doesn't make a lot of sense unless you are installing laravel and for some reason can't do it yourself.. Or if you need to replicate the process. It is not really one button click either you need to find/create the right script(s) if you are doing anything complex and if you are not just have the developers get a copy of the app from github and clone a dev box on digitalocean.
