Session abstract
What you’ll learn
Modern web development often involves stitching together multiple tools, frameworks, and UI libraries just to build standard business functionality. But in the Laravel ecosystem, there’s a different path: a cohesive, batteries-included approach that dramatically reduces that overhead. In this talk, we’ll explore how combining Laravel with Filament enables you to build data-driven, workflow-heavy applications with far less code than you might expect. Filament provides powerful abstractions for forms, tables, and admin panels, all tightly integrated with Laravel’s conventions—so you can focus on business logic instead of boilerplate. We’ll walk through how these tools encourage consistent patterns that make applications easier to build and maintain. From resource definitions to form schemas, you’ll see how common tasks become predictable and fast. We’ll also touch on how this ecosystem pairs naturally with AI-assisted development. Because Laravel and Filament are so convention-driven, they work especially well with modern AI tools, allowing you to scaffold, refine, and iterate quickly. The session includes a live demo showing how to go from idea to a working application in a short amount of time. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of when this stack shines—and how to use it to build real-world applications faster without sacrificing structure or quality.
