Laravel Keynote
summary
The keynote demos concrete features and shows them working: the redesigned exception page renders full stack, headers and copyable Markdown; cache memoization prevents repeated cache hits within a request; automatic eager loading collapses nested N+1s into three queries; HTTP pooling cuts three synchronous sleeps from ~6s to ~3s and HTTP batch adds before/progress/catch/then/finally hooks; deferred queues run jobs after response, queue and cache failover route work to fallback stores, managed WebSockets deploys and operates, and Nightwatch reports 148 billion events and 27,000 application environments.
