Valet is a Laravel development environment for Mac minimalists. No Vagrant, No Apache, No Nginx, No `/etc/hosts` file. You can even share your sites publicly using local tunnels. _Yeah, we like it too._
Laravel Valet configures your Mac to always run PHP's built-in web server in the background when your machine starts. Then, using DnsMasq, Valet proxies all requests on the `*.dev` domain to point to sites installed on your local machine.
Laravel Valet configures your Mac to always run PHP's built-in web server in the background when your machine starts. Then, using [DnsMasq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnsmasq), Valet proxies all requests on the `*.dev` domain to point to sites installed on your local machine.
In other words, a blazing fast Laravel development environment that uses roughly 7mb of RAM. Valet isn't a complete replacement for Vagrant or Homestead, but provides a great alternative if you just need the basics, prefer extreme speed, or are working on a machine with a limited amount of RAM.
