A deliberately busy Laravel site.

Slice & Dispatch is a hand-built sample app we use to exercise the Webslice Serverless platform. It packs more in than a typical "Hello World" so we can actually find regressions: a real database, real pagination, real images, and a real scheduler ticking in the background.

What you can poke at

• Articles. A dozen seeded posts, paginated and categorised. They hit MySQL on every request.
• Gallery. A grid of bundled JPGs that ride the Webslice CDN.
• Cron status. The scheduler writes rows into cron_events; the page just reads them.
• Contact form. A simple POST so you can confirm CSRF, sessions and logging behave.

How the scheduler is wired

All schedule definitions live in routes/console.php. On a normal Linux box you'd add * * * * * php artisan schedule:run to crontab. On Webslice Serverless we don't have a system cron, so we expose a token-protected /cron/run endpoint that runs the same scheduler tick. An external scheduler (e.g. GitHub Actions, an EventBridge rule, or a separate cron host) can hit it once a minute.
