  • Laravel Scout : Laravel Scout is a new driver based full-text search engine for Eloquent
  • Laravel Passport : You need to make an OAuth 2 server? Laravel Passport has got you covered. Get one set up in a few minutes.
  • Laravel Echo : Laravel Echo is an improvement to the existing event broadcasting system that makes it easy to work with web sockets. To utilize Echo the backend will ship with the Laravel core and then you will need to pull in an NPM package for the JavaScript side. (I need to look deeper into this)
