Both were applied by hand during an incident and existed only in /etc on one server. server-bootstrap.sh generates the ladl.link vhost, and its version had no caching at all — so rebuilding the box would have silently restored a ~44 req/s ceiling on a link being handed to a very large audience, with nothing in git recording that the cache should exist. Laravel log rotation had the same problem: none was configured anywhere, and logs had reached 808M across apps. Now tracked under deploy/ and installed by bootstrap: nginx/conf.d/ladill-link-cache.conf FastCGI cache zone nginx/snippets/ladill-link-cached.conf cached path, 10m nginx/snippets/ladill-link-cached-short.conf same, 60s nginx/snippets/ladill-link-public-cache.conf which routes are cached nginx/snippets/ladill-link-hot-pages.conf per-campaign slugs logrotate/ladill-laravel Campaign slugs live in their own snippet so a hot link can be added or retired with an nginx reload instead of a deploy, and bootstrap seeds that file only when absent so it is never clobbered. Caching stays deliberately narrow. ladl.link also serves the admin app, and the cached path strips Set-Cookie, so anything reaching it would lose its session. Only /q/, */bookshop-* and listed campaign pages are cached; SSO and dashboard fall through untouched — verified after this change: both still set cookies and carry no cache header. Generated vhosts now include the snippet from the start, and an existing vhost is patched in place (with a timestamped backup) rather than rewritten, since it may carry local edits. Both paths are idempotent. Applied to production as part of this change, so the committed config is the config that is running rather than an untested transcription: page 12ms, cover 14ms, vanity URL 11ms, all cache HIT.

About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
