Laravel workflow glossary
Plain-language definitions for the LaraBench terms that show up across docs, jobs search, and the desktop app.
This glossary keeps the LaraBench docs consistent. Start here if a page, filter, or screen uses a Laravel workflow term you want defined quickly.
Core workflow terms
- Connection: A saved target LaraBench can run against, such as a local Laravel project, a Docker container, or an SSH server.
- Run Code: The main runner where you execute Tinker snippets or Artisan commands against the selected connection.
- Saved snippet: Reusable code stored locally so you can rerun a query, check, or command later.
- History: The local record of past runs, including output, timing, and the connection used.
Safety and execution
- Dry run: A connection or run mode intended for safe inspection, where LaraBench suppresses writes where it can.
- Write detection: LaraBench's warning system for snippets or commands that look like they may modify data.
- Production confirmation: The extra confirmation step before a run executes against a production-labelled connection.
- Benchmark mode: A repeat-run workflow for comparing two snippets or measuring one snippet over many runs.
Jobs and sharing
- Laravel Jobs: The public LaraBench jobs feed, searchable by stack, source, seniority, arrangement, and country.
- Cloud sync: The Premium feature that syncs supported saved items and history between signed-in devices.
- Share link: A Premium link that exposes a saved item or run on the web without exposing the whole account.
- MCP server: LaraBench's local server for coding assistants, with read access and guarded run access based on your connection settings.
