Laravel Best Practices in 2025

Laravel continues to evolve and with it, best practices. Here are the patterns and techniques I use daily to write clean and maintainable code. ## Architecture Use Action classes for business logic, Form Requests for validation, and API Resources for JSON responses. ## Performance Enable lazy loading prevention, use eager loading systematically, and cache frequent queries with Cache::remember(). ## Testing Write tests with Pest PHP, use factories with states, and automate your tests with CI/CD.
