Laravel is a popular PHP framework that has grown significantly in recent years. It provides features like resource controllers, authentication, routing, testing and an ORM that make development faster. Laravel uses the MVC pattern to separate concerns. The model manages data, the view displays it, and the controller communicates between them. Its growing community and documentation have helped make it a top choice for PHP projects. Future releases continue enhancing its capabilities.

13. Ready to use bundles in Laravel
 Cashier: It was introduced in Laravel 4.2 and provides an efficient
interface for the management of billing service provided by Stripe.
 SSH : It was proposed with Laravel 4.1 to allow the programmatic execution

request from user via communicating the model and sending it back to
the view.
