Laravel Cloud Benchmarks

Performance comparison between Laravel Vapor and Laravel Cloud.

Methodology

Tool: oha - HTTP load generator

Config:

• 50 requests, 5 concurrent
• Random domains via --rand-regex-url to bypass rate limiting
• Tip: escape ? as \? (regex operator)

Example:

oha -n 50 -c 5 --rand-regex-url \
  'https://staging-farfalla-https-guard.publica.la/api/v1/caddy-check-BYZJVBNM8WUVXRDZ\?domain=bench-[a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z]-farfalla.publica.la'
