The Next Generation of Forge is Here
Launched on October 1, the next generation of Laravel Forge delivers speed, control, and ease of use, supporting any modern web stack. This was Forge’s biggest update since its original release in 2014.Instant Provisioning with Laravel VPS
You can now deploy a server in under 10 seconds (for most use cases) using Laravel VPS. Fully configure servers with a single click, reducing server setup time from minutes to seconds.Billing for Laravel VPS appears on your Forge invoice, so you avoid juggling multiple provider bills. An integrated terminal supports SSH collaboration, allowing multiple developers to debug the same session in real-time. See how to provision a server with Laravel VPS
Zero-Downtime Deployments
Deployments now run without taking your site offline, giving you added confidence every time you ship. When creating a new website in Forge, zero-downtime deployments are enabled by default; however, you can choose to disable this feature.You cannot enable zero-downtime deployments for existing sites.

Envoyer Migration Tool
You can now migrate sites from Envoyer to Forge’s zero-downtime deployment system.From your site’s dashboard, click “Migrate to Forge” to start. Forge will check if your site uses multiple servers and guide you through the right steps.Zero-downtime deployments currently support one server per site. If you deploy to multiple servers, we recommend continuing to use Envoyer for now. Existing subscriptions remain fully supported. Read the docs
Nuxt and Next.js Support
Forge now includes first-class support for Nuxt and Next.js applications. This update makes it easier than ever to manage full-stack applications on Forge. You can deploy modern JavaScript frameworks alongside your PHP or Laravel projects without extra configuration.When creating a new site, simply choose Nuxt or Next.js as the project type. Forge will automatically handle the build process, set up the correct runtime environment, and configure your site for production. Start a Nuxt or Next.js project
Improved Domain and SSL Management
Domains and TLS are now simpler, faster, and more reliable, especially for sites with multiple aliases. SSL certificates are now issued per domain, eliminating multi-domain delays and reducing configuration errors. Managing your Nginx configs is also much easier.Each new site also gets an optional defaulton-forge.com domain for quick testing and sharing, which can be disabled if you don’t need it. Learn more
Streamlined UI and Command Palette
Forge’s interface has been redesigned for faster, more intuitive navigation. Features are now grouped into logical tabs at the top of each page, reducing clutter and making tools easier to find.The new command palette (⌘K) lets you jump to any page or action without reaching for the mouse, speeding up everyday tasks.

Organizations and Teams
Circles have been replaced with a more standard Organizations and Teams structure.- Organizations are now the primary billing entity across all Forge plans, making it easier to separate billing for different clients or projects.
- Teams live inside organizations and can share servers, recipes, and resources. Teams are available on the Business plan.
Heartbeats and Health Checks
You can now catch connectivity and routing issues before your users notice them with Forge’s Health checks. This feature pings your application from three regions (London, New York, and Singapore), so you’ll know right away if it’s reachable worldwide.Heartbeats monitor your scheduled jobs by expecting a ping when they finish. If a backup or data processing task fails silently, Forge alerts you immediately, turning job monitoring from a reactive chore into a proactive safeguard. Enable Health checks and Heartbeats
