# How We Built Laravel Wrapped

**[Laravel](https://daily.dev/sources/laravel)** · 10 min read · 39 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Laravel's team built Laravel Wrapped in under two weeks, creating personalized year-in-review experiences for 55,000+ users. The project aggregated data across Cloud, Forge, and Nightwatch using CSV exports and custom Artisan commands, generated AI-powered insights via batched OpenAI prompts, and built an interactive React/Inertia frontend with drag-and-drop sharing capabilities. Key technical challenges included syncing React components with server-rendered OG images, implementing real-time chat using Laravel MCP, and managing deployment speed through Laravel Cloud's preview environments and serverless Postgres. The team leveraged Laravel Boost extensively for AI-assisted development, enabling rapid iteration and same-day fixes during launch.

> Impressive execution, but the most interesting part is the scope control. Shipping something polished to 55k+ users in under two weeks wasn’t about exotic tech—it was about pragmatic choices: CSV pipelines, batching AI calls, tight feedback loops, and fast preview environments. A great example of how strong tooling and clear constraints enable speed without sacrificing quality.
