Shipping an Admin Back Office

Almost every application eventually needs an internal screen where someone, often not a developer, manages the underlying data: editing products, approving orders, updating a settings table. Building that screen by hand, form by form, is one of the least valuable ways to spend a sprint when so much of it can be generated from the data model you already have.

• Laravel: Filament in an Afternoon generates a full admin panel from Eloquent models with almost no boilerplate.
• Symfony: EasyAdmin and Sonata covers the lightweight and the heavyweight options for Symfony/Doctrine projects.
• API Platform: An Admin Generated From Your API turns the API you’re already exposing into an admin panel, for free.
• WordPress: Custom Post Types and ACF as a CRUD Engine shows how far WordPress’s own admin screens stretch before you need anything else.
• Laravel Nova ($): The Official, Supported Alternative to Filament trades an open-source panel for official Laravel support and a first-party roadmap.
