Use GitHub Actions to Test a Laravel and Next App

# Use GitHub Actions to Test a Laravel and Next App ## 1. Separate backend and frontend jobs Run PHP and Node jobs independently so failures are easy to read. Cache Composer and npm dependencies to keep builds fast. ## 2. Use real environment files Create CI-safe environment variables for database, app key, API URL, and frontend URL. Never copy production secrets into the workflow. ## 3. Block risky merges Require the workflow on pull requests. A failed migration, lint error, or broken build should stop the merge before deployment. ## Checklist - Confirm the input data is safe to process. - Keep a human review path for uncertain results. - Measure the workflow before adding more automation. Good CI is boring: it repeats the same checks every time and makes regressions visible early.
