LaraBeacon is a maintained Enlightn fork for Laravel 12 and 13. It detects performance, security, reliability, and configuration issues locally or in CI—with 67 open-source checks and 67 optional Pro checks. Built for Laravel teams that relied on Enlightn, and especially useful for AI-assisted or vibe-coded applications.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m Anthony, the maintainer of LaraBeacon.
Enlightn was a useful production-readiness analyzer for Laravel, but its final release stops at Laravel 11. I wanted teams upgrading to Laravel 12 and 13 to keep that safety net instead of dropping it.
LaraBeacon 3.0 is a maintained LGPL fork of Enlightn’s open-source core. It runs 67 performance, security, and reliability checks locally or in CI, without requiring an account or source upload. LaraBeacon Pro adds 67 separately implemented checks, while Cloud report history is optional and currently in early access.
LaraBeacon is built for Laravel teams that already relied on Enlightn and need continued support for modern Laravel versions. It is also particularly useful when working with AI agents or vibe coding: generated code can look convincing while still containing recurring performance, security, configuration, and deployment mistakes that automated checks can uncover.
I’d especially value feedback from Laravel developers: which release risks still escape your existing tests and CI checks?
