How do I automate these commands when deploying to Heroku?

I'm using Heroku and I'm able to deploy fine with it.

But I noticed I have this repetitive process of running php artisan config:cache and php artisan route:cache whenever I do.

Which file should I add these commands to in order to automate them?

In composer.json? In the Procfile?

I've always stuck them in the composer.json file in the post-install-cmd without any issue.

For example:

"post-install-cmd": [
      "Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postInstall",
      "php artisan optimize",
      "php artisan migrate --force"
    ],

Personally, I have never found a way to do those tasks with the procfile. For me, I just use a bash script that runs all of the post deployment function like heroku run php artisan config:cache. You can also do it like in this repo . https://github.com/jessedc/laravel-heroku-example/blob/master/app.json
