Build a Staging Server

Once your application reaches a certain size, it might prove useful to prepare a staging server. With this setup, all new features and additions would first be deployed to a testing branch for your team (or yourself). Only after you've reviewed and approved the changes would the code then be deployed to production. In this series, we'll use Laravel Forge, Hover, and Cloudflare to build and configure a staging server from scratch. We'll also discuss a few key gotchas you might run into.
