ShieldCI vs LaraBeacon
Two ways to replace Enlightn
LaraBeacon, launched in August 2026, is a maintained fork of Enlightn's open-source code, updated for Laravel 12 and 13. ShieldCI is an independent codebase covering Laravel 9+, with five analyzer categories and an optional hosted dashboard. If you want Enlightn's own checks back, LaraBeacon is the closer match.
