Reliability Readiness Scale for Laravel Cloud

Purpose: To communicate recommended customer workloads based on Cloud’s reliability stage. Use this rating scale to determine what types of applications are suitable for each release phase, taking into account your app’s level of criticality and your risk tolerance for service interruptions.

1. Low (Evaluation)

• Recommended Use: Development, staging, or trial environments only.

• Description: Ideal for experimental or low-impact applications where potential downtime or service limitations are acceptable. Suitable for exploring platform features but not for business-critical apps.

• Stage: Alpha – The platform is still in active development, with limited guarantees of stability.

1. Medium (Non-Critical Production)

• Recommended Use: Non-essential production workloads or applications with minimal impact in case of downtime (e.g., internal tools, analytics dashboards, supplemental queue workers, or backup services).

• Description: Suitable for production apps that can handle temporary disruptions. The platform offers a higher level of stability, but users should avoid deploying highly critical applications.

• Stage: Beta– The platform is more stable, but service interruptions are still possible as enhancements continue. No guarantees on platform uptime or support response times.

1. High (Mission-Critical)

• Recommended Use: Any application, including high-impact, mission-critical workloads requiring maximum uptime and minimal risk of interruption.

• Description: Fully supported for all types of applications, with comprehensive reliability measures in place. Users can confidently deploy essential production apps and sensitive workloads.

• Stage: General Availability (GA) – The platform is fully tested, and reliability is ensured for all use cases.
