Deploying to multiple Laravel Vapor apps
January 8, 2022I recently launched HighSchoolNotes.com.au into another region HighSchoolNotes.co.nz. Under the hood this is the very same Laravel app, deployed onto Laravel Vapor. Initially I had the New Zealand app running as a separate environment in the main app (production
and production-nz
) but it felt like it was a better decision to split these entirely - while they run the same code they use different databases, caches and storage.
Luckily, Laravel Vapor has a mechanism for supporting multiple Laravel apps for the same project - and that is letting you point it to a configuration file when you call it. By default this will be vapor.yml
but you can change this as well as having multiple. For my second app I added vapor.nz.yml
which pointed to another setup - simply referencing that configuration file with --manifest
is all you need work with multiple Vapor apps.
vapor deploy production --manifest=vapor.nz.yml
