Announcing Full Support for PHP and Laravel
Seal expands its ecosystem with a native PHP SDK, bringing zero-latency WAF, AI-driven error tracking, and zero-configuration uptime monitoring to the PHP world.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the official release of the Seal PHP SDK, bringing our enterprise-grade SRE and Security Engine to millions of PHP and Laravel applications.
PHP remains the powerhouse of the web, running everything from massive Laravel applications to legacy WordPress installations. However, integrating modern, zero-latency security and active telemetry into PHP's stateless architecture has always been a challenge.
With the new Seal PHP SDK, we've solved this entirely.
Zero-Configuration, Zero-Latency
The new SDK is designed to work perfectly out of the box, regardless of your framework.
- Native Laravel Integration: For modern apps, our
SealServiceProviderauto-discovers upon installation. You just add your API key to your.envfile, and Seal instantly hooks into Laravel's exception handler and task scheduler (php artisan seal:heartbeat). - Vanilla PHP & WordPress Support: For legacy applications, you simply include the
Client.phpfile. Seal utilizes a proprietary Traffic-Triggered Heartbeat ("Poor Man's Cron") to monitor your uptime continuously without requiring you to touch a single Linux Cron job or server configuration.
The Edge WAF Comes to PHP
The PHP SDK includes the exact same Zero-Latency WAF that powers our Node and Python libraries. Before your framework even boots up, the Seal middleware intercepts the $_SERVER superglobals to instantly drop:
* Malicious Scanners (sqlmap, nikto)
* Geo-Blocked IP Addresses
* SQLi & XSS Payloads
* Path Traversal Attempts
All of this happens in memory, adding 0ms of latency to your page load speeds.
What's Next on the Roadmap?
The release of the PHP SDK marks a major milestone for Seal, but we are just getting started. As we aggressively expand our ecosystem to secure the modern web, we are officially announcing the next languages on our roadmap:
* Go (Golang): Bringing lightning-fast, persistent heartbeat monitoring and zero-latency middleware to the king of microservices. * Ruby (Rails): A lightweight Rack Middleware to drop threats before they hit the Rails router, solving the infamous APM performance drag in Ruby. * Java (Spring Boot): Enterprise-grade Servlet Filters and Global Exception Handlers for the massive JVM ecosystem.
The PHP SDK is available today. Run composer require desicon/seal-php to secure your application from the inside out.
