I'm working on a clinical dashboard that will handle appointments, patient data, and some basic analytics. The client has a very limited budget, and while I was considering Supabase for its easy setup, I found that the costs for object storage, database, and services rise quickly as it scales. I need a solution where I manage the backend, database, and authentication without having to set up my own auth system. Can anyone suggest a budget-friendly setup that balances affordability and security? I'm also looking for good managed authentication options. Thanks!

One option to consider is using Laravel alongside Filament. This combination allows you to build enterprise-level applications pretty quickly, and can be a more straightforward approach than piecing together different services. People often overthink their tech choices, but this duo has proven effective for many projects.

But do you really need Filament? Couldn’t you just use Laravel on its own?
