Laravel Scout (Search)

Full-text search is a cornerstone of modern applications. LaraKube automates the deployment of your preferred search engine and its integration with Laravel Scout.

🏛 Supported Drivers​

LaraKube offers three distinct "flavors" for your search foundation:

1. Meilisearch (Self-hosted)​

The fastest typt-tolerant search engine, specifically tuned for the Laravel community.

2. Typesense (Self-hosted)​

A high-performance, open-source search engine that focuses on performance and developer experience.

3. Database (Built-in)​

A zero-infrastructure search option that uses your existing database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite) for full-text indexing. Perfect for small projects or internal tools.

⚡️ Automations​

When you enable Scout, LaraKube automatically:

  1. Installs PHP Drivers: Adds laravel/scout and the driver-specific SDKs to your container.
  2. Hardens the Cluster: Deploys your chosen engine with a secure Master Key.
  3. Auto-Configures Laravel: Injects the correct SCOUT_DRIVER and connection settings into your .env.
  4. Sets up Local Ingress: Provides a dedicated local URL for API and dashboard access.
