Laravel Worldwide Meetup - I Didn't Know Laravel Could Do That

We are joined by Jim Seconde - Senior Developer Advocate - who will tell us all about what a CPaaS is and how to power your Laravel applications using one. "I'd often assume when travelling that everyone knows what a CPaaS is. And yet this wasn't the case: so many developers I'd get into conversations with about what they were working on had no idea of the capabilities their Laravel apps can have using it. So, what is a CPaaS? I'm not telling you in this abstract; you'll have to watch for insights!"
