Technology Stack

Modern Technology Stack

Built with proven technologies selected for reliability, maintainability and production performance.

PHP

Language
8.2+

The server-side language the entire application runs on.

Laravel

Framework
12

MVC framework providing routing, Eloquent ORM, auth and validation.

Blade

Templating
Built-in

Server-rendered templates for every page across all four panels.

Alpine.js

Frontend
3.x (CDN)

Lightweight interactivity, loaded via CDN — not an npm dependency.

Tailwind CSS

Styling
4

Utility-first CSS, compiled via the @tailwindcss/vite plugin.

Vite

Build Tool
7

Compiles a pre-built static CSS/JS bundle for production.

MySQL / MariaDB

Database
via Laravel

Relational database — 100% Laravel migrations, no raw SQL dump.

Laravel Dompdf

PDF Generation
3.1

Generates branded booking invoice PDFs.

No React, Vue, Next.js or Inertia is used anywhere in the codebase — the frontend is server-rendered Blade with Alpine.js for interactivity.
Application Architecture

Clean Laravel MVC Architecture

The application follows a classic Laravel MVC architecture with purpose-built service classes for complex business logic — business-critical logic is separated from controllers, keeping the application easier to maintain.

Payment Architecture

Integrated Payment Infrastructure

Stripe

  • Stripe PHP SDK
  • Online card payments
  • Sandbox / Live mode
  • Configurable credentials

PayPal

  • PayPal REST integration
  • Sandbox / Live mode
  • Client ID / Secret
  • Online payment
Booking
Payment Required
Stripe / PayPal
Payment Confirmation
Booking Confirmation
Refunds are handled as customer wallet/store credit in the current implementation — there is no automatic Stripe/PayPal refund reversal call.
Maps & Dispatch

Location-Aware Booking & Dispatch

Dispatch ETA
Caching
Driver location is a single current latitude/longitude point — there is no location-history table and no live-updating map view. Distance and ETA are surfaced as numbers, not a moving GPS map.
Notifications

Native Browser Push Notifications

LimoSchedule uses VAPID-based Web Push directly with browser push services, without Firebase, OneSignal or Pusher.

Multi-Channel Notification Architecture

Email

Laravel Mail / Notification

Database

In-app notifications

Web Push

Native browser push

SMS is not currently integrated. WhatsApp booking links use wa.me deep links rather than the WhatsApp Business API.
Performance & Storage

Optimized for Efficient Performance

Settings CachingForever-cached singleton settings with automatic invalidation.
Google Maps CachingDistance Matrix and Geocoding responses are cached to reduce API usage.
Dispatch Snapshot Caching60-second / movement-based ETA snapshot caching.
PaginationLarge lists use paginated queries.
Pre-Built AssetsTailwind/Vite assets are compiled before production deployment.

Simple Production-Ready File Handling

Uploaded files are stored directly under public/uploads/ — covering Settings, Pages, Vehicles, Blog, push-notification assets and backups.

Laravel storage:link is not required by the current implementation. No cloud/S3 storage is wired up.
