Your Laravel Isn't Slow, *Your Architecture Is*.
Short summary
Laravel bottlenecks often stem from architecture, not the framework. Use Octane's async dispatch with afterResponse() to defer non-critical tasks, and implement Redis Streams for event-driven cache invalidation. This paradigm shift from blocking to reactive patterns enables sustained low-latency throughput at scale.
- •Octane persistent workers enable non-blocking job dispatch with afterResponse() to release HTTP responses early
- •Redis Streams replace static TTL caching with event-driven invalidation for real-time consistency
- •Architectural patterns (async queues, reactive caching) solve scaling better than micro-optimizations
