White Paper: Environment Configuration and Security in Laravel

Subject: The .env File in Laravel Architecture Target Audience: Developers, DevOps Engineers, System Administrators Version: Laravel 8.x - 11.x

Sometimes, you edit the .env file, but Laravel keeps using old settings. This happens because Laravel caches configuration for performance. .env.laravel

# docker-compose.yml
services:
  app:
    image: laravel-app
    env_file:
      - .env.laravel

• Generate a git-safe .gitignore and secret-rotation checklist for Laravel,
• Create the PR-secret-scan script to run in CI,
• Or write the incident post-mortem document. Which would you prefer?
