Immediate Laravel AWS Deployment

I have a Laravel web application ready to launch and I need it deployed, configured, and fully operational on an AWS EC2 instance straight away. The codebase is already complete; your job is to get it running smoothly, connect it to my MySQL database, and ensure there are no runtime or configuration errors.

Here is what I need from you:

• Provision or configure the EC2 instance with the correct PHP version, Composer, and any required extensions.
• Upload the Laravel project, set the proper folder permissions, and handle the `.env` configuration.
• Point the application to my MySQL database, run the migrations, and verify data is accessible.
• Configure the web server (Nginx or Apache—whichever you prefer) so the site loads over the domain.
• Hand back clear, concise notes on any instance settings or security groups you touched so I can replicate or scale later.

Acceptance criteria
• Application loads at the domain with no PHP, Laravel, or 500-level errors.
• All routes, static assets, and database interactions work as expected.
• You provide a brief deployment log or commands list for future reference.

If you can jump in immediately and tick off the above, let’s get started—I’m ready to give you access as soon as we agree.
