My Laravel project is in part a headless CMS - this means it has and API that gets called by a frontend system - with around 10 API requests per page view.
We can cache some of that - but sometimes caches are empty and the site still has to be responsive.
The meant I needed to optimise my Laravel site and after a few experiments I found that using [Laravel Octane]](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/octane) with FrankenPHP gave me the performance boost I needed without needing any significant code change.
I have a Laravel project using vite InertiaJS and React
A unit test calling the Head module from @inertiajs/react
Was triggering this error
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'createProvider')
For this test I don’t really care about the Head module - but didn’t want to try and mock the whole of inertia-react

InertiaJs does a great job of helping me build React apps on Laravel. The form help does a great job - especially with displaying validation messages.
But I couldn’t figure out how to change data and save the form in one action.
My Laravel site was working just fine yesterday but after a code-only update today I was seeing 502 errors on some pages
upstream sent too big header while reading response header from upstream, client:
While the solution was hard to find it was easy to implement.
