[ 10 Key Takeaways ](#key-takeaways) State of Laravel 2026 Survey Is Now Open ---------------------------------------- Tobias Petry has opened the [State of Laravel 2026 survey](https://stateoflaravel.com/?ref=2026), marking the sixth consecutive year he has run this annual snapshot of how Laravel developers actually build software. The survey aims to capture the diversity of tools, workflows, and opinions across one of the most active PHP communities in the world. > "Laravel has been created more than 10 years ago. Today it is the most popular PHP framework used by thousands of developers every day. The emerged ecosystem around Laravel is huge and new trends are popping up all the time." What the Survey Covers ---------------------- The questionnaire is organized into six clearly defined sections: ### 1. Developer Profile Questions about your code editor, operating system, team size, and any other programming languages you work with alongside PHP. ### 2. Tech Stack Covers the PHP and Laravel versions you run in production, your database choices, rendering approach (server-side vs. client-side), reactive frontend libraries, and admin panel solutions. ### 3. Development Focuses on local development environments, debugging methods, code quality tooling (static analysis, testing frameworks), and where you host your source code. ### 4. Artificial Intelligence *(new for 2026)* This is a brand-new section this year. It will capture how Laravel developers are integrating or interacting with AI tooling in their day-to-day work. The results here are likely to be among the most closely watched once the survey closes. ### 5. Production Asks about deploy frequency, how you run your applications (VPS, managed platforms, containers, etc.), and the monitoring solutions you rely on. ### 6. Opinion A set of agree/disagree statements designed to gauge community sentiment — for example: *"The Laravel Framework is moving in the right direction."* Why You Should Participate -------------------------- Surveys like this only produce meaningful data when a broad cross-section of the community responds. Whether you are a solo freelancer, part of a large engineering team, or somewhere in between, your answers help paint an accurate picture of how Laravel is used in the real world. The published results become a useful reference point for package authors, framework contributors, and hiring managers alike. Key Takeaways ------------- - The State of Laravel 2026 survey is now live at [stateoflaravel.com](https://stateoflaravel.com/?ref=2026). - This is the **sixth year** Tobias Petry has run the survey. - Six sections are covered: Developer Profile, Tech Stack, Development, AI, Production, and Opinion. - **AI is a new section** for 2026, reflecting the growing role of AI tooling in Laravel workflows. - Results will be published after the survey closes and are freely available to the community. Take a few minutes to fill it in — your data helps the entire Laravel ecosystem make better decisions. --- *Source: [State of Laravel 2026 Survey Is Now Open — Laravel News](https://laravel-news.com/state-of-laravel-2026-survey)* Found this useful?
