MVC stands for Model, View, and Controller. It is a separation-of-concerns pattern that Laravel supports for organizing a web application.

Models represent application data and persistence rules; Eloquent models commonly query and update records and define relationships. Views are usually Blade templates that turn data into HTML. Controllers receive requests, coordinate services or models, and return a view, redirect, or JSON response. Complex business logic should live in focused services or domain classes rather than becoming crowded into controllers.
