Whats the point of running Laravel with the command 'php artisan serve'? : <p>I dont seem to understand why we need to run a Laravel app with <code>php artisan serve</code> vs just running it with <strong>Apache</strong> or <strong>nginx</strong>. I know that under development, we use artisan to fire up the site and after deployment to a server, you use the webserver to load up the site.</p>

<p>Whats the use of running the app in artisan in the first place?</p>
