Introduction
This article walks through the process of deploying a Laravel 4 app to the App Engine PHP runtime.
Laravel is a web application framework that supports common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, and caching.
The Laravel 4 Starter Kit developed by Bruno Gaspar demos a simple blog application, and is a nice example of how to use the Laravel framework itself, as well as some of its packages. It should get you started on how to define and deploy your own app. If you’re not familiar with Laravel, you will find it useful to look over its documentation as well.
We’ll look at how to deploy this ‘starter kit’ app to App Engine.
