One of the common problems when working on web apps is that you need to have a local environment that is as close as possible to the production environment. If you are working in a team it is important that you can share the local environment one way or the other too. In this post I show you how you can solve this problem by using Lando, a local development environment.
Since version 3.14 Lando introduced a new health check scanner when starting a project. In this post I show you how you can configure the new scanner and get rid of slow health checks on lando start.
Laravel makes it easy to handle time-sensitive tests with its travel helper, a feature that allows you to simulate time shifts with a single line of code. In this guide, we'll walk through testing a login rate limiter, ensuring users are properly blocked after multiple failed attempts. Instead of relying on slow, manual pauses, this approach keeps your test suite fast.
MailHog and Lando are both very useful open source tools for local web development. In this post, I'll show you how to bring them together for a better experience when working with mail in local development.
