Laravel PHP, ready for the whole release.
A Laravel release includes more than PHP files. Make runtime requirements, asset builds, writable storage, workers, and application configuration visible before choosing a hosting workflow.
Document what the runtime needs
Record the maintained framework and PHP versions, dependency lockfiles, required extensions, and build steps. Follow the deployment documentation for your actual version. Do not assume that a panelβs PHP site option has already configured every application requirement.
Keep the public boundary narrow
Verify the intended public document root and the treatment of environment configuration. Distinguish deployable assets from writable application storage. Test file access with the runtimeβs actual identity rather than solving a permission issue by opening the entire project tree.
Publish code and manage state deliberately
Plan worker restarts, scheduled tasks, caches, and database migrations as explicit release steps. Record whether a prior code version can still run after a schema change. Validate a meaningful application path and background task after publication, not just the landing page.
