Purpose

Development and production setup steps for a Laravel application with MySQL. Optional FreeTDS configuration for MSSQL date formatting.

Current state

Last touched: 2023-04-11. Functionality and completeness: Setup steps are documented; feature-level docs are limited.

Next step

Add baseline automated tests to cover critical flows; Add CI pipeline for build/test/lint; Document deployment/runtime environment (or add Dockerfile); Document interfaces (CLI flags, API endpoints, file formats); Add structured logging and basic health checks.

Interfaces

Inputs
  • Configuration files (TOML/YAML/JSON/INI/CONF)
Outputs
  • HTML responses, MySQL writes, optional exports

Reality to Action trace

Reality Ingestion

Not in scope.

Canonical Storage

Contributes in this stage.

Automation Engines

Not in scope.

Human Interfaces

Contributes in this stage.

Operational Adoption

Contributes in this stage.

Core workflow

TBD. Document the 5-10 steps that define the core workflow.

Artifacts

  • Laravel routes and DB schema in database/

Operational notes

Constraints and scars

  • Requires MySQL schema setup and .env configuration; MSSQL integration depends on FreeTDS locale config.

Reliability posture

Failure modes and safe behavior: DB connectivity issues or misconfigured .env cause runtime errors Idempotency / retries / batching behavior: Standard web app behavior; no special batching noted.

Observability

  • Logs: Laravel logs under storage/logs; web server access/error logs
  • Metrics/health checks: None documented
  • Logs: Laravel app logs under storage/logs; web server logs for request-level visibility.

Security and privacy

Protect .env secrets and restrict access to admin endpoints.

Dependencies

Upstream
  • MySQL, optional MSSQL via FreeTDS/ODBC
