    I don't use Docker. So, I can't, sorry.

    I would refer you to TechEmpower's benchmarks anyway: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

    Laravel is known to be slower than other frameworks. But it's still in the 50-200ms response time. I just deployed an app to an AWS medium node, and basic pages respond in 31ms. DB intensive pages run in 55ms.

    ^ this is a production app/environment.
