About Laravel
Laravel has been one of the dominant PHP frameworks since its 2011 debut, prized for its expressive syntax and a large first-party ecosystem covering everything from routing and queues to front-end scaffolding and deployment.
Laravel Lifecycle Explained
Laravel ships a new major version roughly once a year, typically in the first quarter, with minor and patch releases as often as weekly. Under the current, unified policy, every release gets 18 months of Active Support (bug fixes) and 2 years of Security Support from its release date, regardless of version number. This wasn't always the case: Laravel 5.5 and 6 were designated LTS releases under an older policy, receiving noticeably longer windows, roughly 2 years of active support and 3 years of security support. That separate LTS tier was dropped starting with Laravel 7, and every release since has followed the same standardized 18-month and 2-year schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Laravel 10 end of life?
Yes. Laravel 10's Security Support ended in February 2025, and it no longer receives any updates, security fixes included.
Is Laravel still relevant in 2026?
Yes, it remains one of the most widely used PHP frameworks, with Laravel 13 as the current major version and a regular annual release cadence.
Will Laravel have a future?
There's no indication otherwise. Laravel continues to ship new major versions on a predictable yearly schedule and maintains an active first-party ecosystem, both signs of continued investment rather than a project winding down.
Is Laravel outdated?
No, the actively maintained recent versions are current and regularly updated. As with any framework, specific older versions, like Laravel 8 or earlier, are genuinely outdated in the sense that they're past end of life, but that's a version-specific issue, not a statement about Laravel as a whole.
