Introduction

BenchKit for Laravel is an open source and containerized Laravel application to help you understand how your host and Laravel configurations are actually performing. We put together this application that runs realistic benchmark tests through Laravel so you can understand the actual performance of your setup. Running BenchKit for Laravel also helps you build faster and more reliable applications.
