A checklist for launching first Laravel app

I'm getting ready to launch my first Laravel app in a few days and I'm wondering what steps need to be taken for launching a Laravel app. Are there any site settings (like debug) that need to be changed or base domain/urls that have to be set prior to a launch?

For the record, I'm using name silo for domain, cloudways (digital ocean) for hosting, and bitbucket (private repo) for git.

Besides disabling debugging, a few other optimisations to consider are:

Concatenating and minifying CSS and scripts. (Using Gulp/Elixir)
Optimising composer's autoload composer dump-autoload -o
Optimising Laravel's compiled bootstrap php artisan optimize
