Hi dev.to 👋
I want to share a project I’ve been building and running in production.
svg4.ru is a large SVG icons and vector graphics platform focused on speed, simplicity, and scale.
🚀 Tech stack
Laravel 12
Meilisearch for instant full-text search
MySQL — over 1,000,000+ records
Tailwind CSS 4
Alpine.js
Clean, minimal JavaScript (no heavy frontend frameworks)
Despite the data size, the site works blazingly fast:
instant search
fast filtering
low response times even under load
This project is very engineering-focused: performance, indexing strategy, caching, clean architecture, and predictable behavior at scale.
🧠 What this project demonstrates
Laravel can handle million-scale datasets without pain
Meilisearch is a great alternative to Elasticsearch for real-world apps
You don’t need React/Vue for fast, interactive UIs
Tailwind 4 + Alpine.js is a powerful and pragmatic combo
👀 I’d love your feedback
If you’re interested, please:
check out the site
try the search
explore the UI
share feedback or suggestions
🤝 Open to collaboration
If you:
want to build a similar platform
need help with PHP / Laravel / Node.js
work with Tailwind 4, Alpine.js
care about performance, architecture, and scalability
I’ll be happy to collaborate or help.
