What does your PHP stack actually look like in 2026?

I've been building PHP applications professionally for 10+ years, and I'm curious what everyone here is using these days.

Our current stack at work:

• PHP 8.3 + Laravel
• Vue.js on the frontend
• MySQL + Redis for caching
• Docker for local dev and deployments
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• AWS for hosting

We've tried moving parts to Node.js a couple of times, but honestly, we keep coming back to Laravel for anything business-critical. The ecosystem is just too mature and productive to give up.

A few things I've noticed in 2026:

• PHP 8.3 JIT is genuinely fast; now the performance gap with Node is much smaller than people think
• GraphQL adoption in PHP projects has grown a lot
• Redis has basically become a default part of every stack

Curious what others are doing. Are you still on Laravel, or have you moved to Symfony, Slim, or something else entirely? Anyone running PHP in a microservices setup with Docker/Kubernetes?
