I am in the process of planing to build an app and have a few questions that I would like to get 100% in my head.
What is the best method from your prospective in regards to updating code and going between live/maintenance mode sites?
What do you recommend for Authentication?
How would you handle cacheing and CDN?
Well to start, I'd like to say welcome to the newest version of laravel (released apx 3 weeks ago).
Second: authentication is handled completely for you in this version of laravel, and it is well documented for you to customize.
As far as switching from live / maintenence mode, as always we suggest keeping a live Repo and a branch for development. May we suggest using Bitbucket coupling it with our forge service in order to ease deploying and setting up your servers!
As far as a CDN goes, that's all based on your experience. I don't recommend one over the other because my opinion would be biased and the current version is fairly new, so any packages/dependencies for previous versions would need to be updated and/or tested for compatibility :)
I hope this helps!
