Codeblix is built on Laravel. Here is why.

Why not Node.js?

Node.js is great for real-time apps (chat, gaming, etc.). For a business app with heavy database operations, Laravel (PHP) is more productive.

Why Laravel?

  • Mature ecosystem (Filament, Cashier, etc.)
  • Strong ORM (Eloquent)
  • Excellent documentation
  • Large community
  • Battle-tested in production
