Use this path when an evaluator needs a real hosted Capell application before the team wants to wire the first environment by hand. Capell coordinates the first setup; Laravel Cloud provides the infrastructure.
What Capell prepares
After you connect Laravel Cloud and choose a source and region, Capell checks access, creates the application and managed database, links the environment, sets bootstrap variables, starts the first deploy and records registration.
What remains your responsibility
The Laravel Cloud organisation owns and is billed for the resources. Your team remains responsible for source access, domains, secrets, application configuration, package updates, queues, storage, backups, monitoring and future deploys. Capell does not operate the app as a hosted CMS service.
When direct Cloud setup is better
If your team already has a proven Laravel Cloud template and does not need Capell's instance record or guided bootstrap, use Laravel Cloud directly. The guided path should remove first-run work, not replace deployment practices that already serve the project well.
Before you connect
- Confirm the Laravel Cloud organisation that should own and bill the resources.
- Confirm Cloud can read the selected source repository.
- Choose the region and resource profile.
- Gather the application-specific environment variables the first deploy will need.
