⁠FAQs

Here's common questions to help you understand how this application works.

How does this application work?

This application is a dedicated Laravel application, built as "container first" so you can easily benchmark your VPS or hosting provider. We use Yet Another Bench Script⁠ to test your hardware, cfspeedtest⁠ to test your network to CloudFlare, and then we run a series of CRUD tests to benchmark how your application performs.

Do I install this as a Laravel package?

Nope! This is a standalone application that is intended to be run, then easily destroyed once you're done with it.

Can I run this application without Docker?

Yes! Although we do provide a Docker image, you can also clone this repository and run the application on your own PaaS (like Laravel Cloud or DigitalOcean Apps). There are dependencies that need to be installed (like Yet Another Bench Script⁠ and cfspeedtest ⁠), but we will be sure to add more documentation once we get the Docker version up and running first.

How can I share my results with the community?

When you run the benchmark, you'll have an option to share your results on X (Twitter) with the hashtag of #BenchKit and #Laravel⁠.
