⚙ Full Stack
Laravel (PHP) backend with MySQL as the primary store and Redis for queues/cache, plus a Vue/Flutter frontend for web and mobile clients. Official Docker images and docker-compose stacks are maintained by the project.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Reasonable for SMB-scale invoicing volume with Redis-backed queue workers handling PDF generation and email sending asynchronously, but the Laravel monolith and MySQL-centric design cap it well short of high-throughput multi-tenant SaaS scale without significant re-architecture.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Three-pod deploy: app, MySQL (`mysql.pod:3306`), and Redis (`redis.pod:6379`) — all wired via Nexlayer's `.pod` DNS convention and mirror.gcr.io base images. Set `APP_URL` to the Nexlayer-issued domain so PDF generation and client-portal links resolve correctly.
