How to attach a database to a Laravel Vapor deployment
September 30, 2020
You can attach an Amazon RDS database to a Laravel Vapor deployment, which automatically configures your Laravel app to use that database.
First, create a database on Vapor using the UI or the CLI.
Then, add it to your vapor.yml
file for your app:
id: 10583
name: my-app
environments:
production:
# Add the database like this:
database: my-database-name
# More configuration would go here
Now, next time you redeploy to Laravel Vapor, your app will have the necessary environment variables to connect to the database you specified.
