Creating and Update Laravel Eloquent

Question

What\'s the shorthand for inserting a new record or updating if it exists?

Answer 1

Isn't this the same as updateOrCreate()?

It is similar but not the same. The updateOrCreate() will only work for one row at a time which doesn't allow bulk insert. InsertOnDuplicateKey will work on many rows.
