$300Requires AWS Activate account and a live web app
Eligibility & conditions
Laravel Cloud is a managed deployment platform built by the Laravel team, running apps on dedicated AWS EC2 with managed MySQL and Postgres, caching, object storage, WebSockets and autoscaling. Eligible AWS Activate startups get $300 in credits through the AWS Activate offers marketplace. The self-serve free tier is $5 in usage credits plus a free first month on the Starter plan, so the Activate offer is 60x what a normal signup gets. Despite the name it also deploys Next.js Nuxt and Symfony apps, not only PHP.

How to apply
5 steps- Apply to AWS Activate at aws.amazon.com/startups/credits. The Founders tier is self-serve for bootstrapped or self-funded companies; the Portfolio tier needs a referral code from a partner VC or accelerator. Eligibility is pre-Series B, founded in the last 10 years, with an AWS account on a paid support plan.
- Once Activate approves you, sign in to that AWS account.
- Open https://startups.aws.com/offers/laravel-300 while signed in. Signed out, the page bounces you to an AWS login instead of showing the offer.
- Submit the Easy Apply form. Have a link to your live web app ready, since the stated bar is a visible business with some initial customers. If you are pre-launch, write a short description of what you are building.
- After approval, apply the credit to your Laravel Cloud organization, then set an org spending limit in Cloud so compute pauses instead of billing you once the $300 is used up.
