10-Stage Production Launch Blueprint
Follow this battle-tested engineering checklist to launch your stack in under 48 hours.
Set up an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or AWS EC2). Install Nginx 1.24+, PHP 8.2-FPM with bcmath, cURL, mbstring, openssl, pdo_mysql, zip extensions, and MySQL 8.0.
Point your production domain nameservers to Cloudflare. Enable Full (Strict) SSL encryption, Bot Fight Mode, and WAF rate limiting on your API routes.
Create your MySQL database with utf8mb4_unicode_ci encoding. Execute the included SQL dump via phpMyAdmin or SSH CLI: mysql -u user -p db_name < dump.sql.
Configure your .env file: set APP_ENV=production, APP_DEBUG=false, DB credentials, app URL, and run php artisan key:generate and php artisan config:cache.
Create a Firebase console project. Download google-services.json (Android) and GoogleService-Info.plist (iOS). Place your Firebase Server Key inside the Laravel backend admin.
Link your live Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay API keys. Set up webhook listening endpoints so order payments and refunds synchronize automatically without dropouts.
Set up crontab: * * * * * cd /var/www/site && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1. Configure Supervisord to keep background queue workers active 24/7.
Open Flutter mobile source code in Android Studio / VS Code. Update package names, replace app icons and splash assets, point constants.dart API base URL to your domain.
Build signed release packages: flutter build appbundle for Google Play and flutter build ipa for Apple TestFlight / App Store Connect. Prepare privacy policy and terms.
Pre-load initial categories and sample listings. Onboard your first pilot partners, test complete order lifecycle from customer checkout to driver payout, and begin user acquisition.
