Currently Playing: Claude Code Built My Entire Laravel App While I Watched

Try Zerops: https://linkly.link/2nwQi In this video, we build InvoiceHub, a real invoicing app with Laravel 13 and Filament v5, with Claude Code as the agent running inside a remote Zerops workspace. Deploying a real Laravel app is never just the app. You need Postgres, a queue worker, object storage for the PDFs, something to catch outgoing email — and normally that means an afternoon of dashboards and config before you write any business logic. In this video I build the whole thing without installing a single dev tool on my laptop. Two MCPs do the heavy lifting: Laravel Boost knows Laravel, ZCP (the Zerops Control Plane) knows infrastructure. From two prompts, the agent provisions Postgres, Valkey, Mailpit, and S3-compatible storage, scaffolds the app across separate web and worker services, and builds the queued invoice pipeline: issue an invoice, a job renders the PDF, stores it, and emails the client — verified live in Mailpit, with 33 passing test assertions. Then a third prompt adds full-text search: the agent picks Meilisearch from the live service catalog, provisions it, wires it up with Laravel Scout, and redeploys. I never touch a dashboard. Pricing is pay-per-use, billed by the minute, no plans or seat fees. The whole dev stack starts around $21/month and drops as resources scale down. Zerops gives you $15 credit on signup, plus $50 more after verifying your account with a $10 initial payment. Want this exact stack? The repo includes the import file — deploy the whole project into your own Zerops account with one click.
