Inertia

A modern SPA with monolith simplicity

Inertia solves a common dilemma: you want the fluidity of an SPA built with Vue or React, but you do not want to build and version a separate API just for your own front end. With Inertia, the Laravel controller returns a page with props instead of raw JSON, and navigation happens without full page reloads. Routing, authentication and validation stay on the server, where they already work well.

It is our default pick when a Laravel project calls for a richer interface than Blade and Livewire comfortably deliver: screens with heavy client-side state, complex components, teams already fluent in Vue. When the front end has to serve other consumers, such as a mobile app or external partners, a dedicated API is the right call, and we say so before writing the first line.

For the people hiring us, the gain shows up in maintenance: one repository, one deploy and one authorization layer to audit. Less surface means fewer points of failure and a smaller team covering the whole product. And since Inertia is a first-party piece of Laravel's official starter kits and supports server-side rendering, the foundation ages together with the rest of the stack, with no rewrite on the horizon.
