The tools that I use every single day at work as a fullstack developer.
First of all I use Windows as OS for my local development.
The list of tools in short are the next one:
- Laragon
- Visual Studio Code
- DBeaver
- Postman
Laragon
What better description for laragon that the one in their website
Laragon provides you a modern & powerful development environment that countless people love
And that's true, laragon it's easy and really fun to work with, one of my task in my job is to work with legacy projects made using laravel or vanilla php, it's really easy to setup different versions of php, or have a really easy way to work between project versions.
Visual studio code
My code editor and the tool that I just use single day, the 365 days of the year, so yeah, just my go to if I have to work with code, no matter the language, framework, etc.
DBeaver
My database manager of choice, I really like the easy way to compare two databases and get the differences between them, the general layout and support for the database ecosystem it's really nice.
Postman
For making request to the apis that I'm working on and for collaborete with my cowokers it's really nice.

Nice overview of useful daily tools — I also use VS Code + Postman heavily. If you’re open to trying something else for local dev, you might like ServBay (servbay.com
). It could work nicely as an alternative to tools like Laragon when managing multiple PHP versions or local environments.
