Laravel Artisan & Composer commands on deployment

Question

What Composer and Artisan commands are necessary to run during deployment of a brand new Laravel application? Per Laravel 5.7 documentation, are these the only essential commands?

composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache

Answer 1

Methods are:

composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
composer dump-autoload

The others are optional.

1. Do you cache your configs? If yes, include php artisan config:cache
2. Do you cache your routes? If yes, include php artisan route:cache
3. Do you cache your views? If yes, include php artisan view:cache
4. Do you want to flush your app cache every time you deploy? If yes, include php artisan cache:clear

Beware that flushing your app cache could have many undesirable effects, especially if you're using your cache system for sessions, queues, etc. as it would clear out everything
