- For
- Laravel Forge operators planning a server migration
- Worth noticing
- The demo shows old and new servers side by side, with sites, PHP versions, and the reserved IP represented in the switch-over.
Field notes
The migration workflow includes a review stage that places old and new deploy scripts, nginx files, and cron commands side by side, with review tracking to catch missed changes. The page says each site is assigned the highest PHP version its composer.lock permits, and that the old server is left untouched until the operator initiates switch-over. These are product descriptions; the visible demo itself uses simulated servers.
