As Laravel projects grow, keeping the code organized gets harder. A few practices that have worked well for us in Laravel development:
Keep controllers thin. Move business logic into service or action classes. Use Form Requests for validation instead of validating inside controllers. Group code by feature (Orders, Users, Payments) rather than only by file type once the app gets big. Use queues for slow tasks like emails and reports so pages stay fast. Write feature tests for the main user flows before refactoring.
I’m with Appcrops, and these are the habits we follow on client projects. How do you structure your larger Laravel apps?
