Do you ever call "php artisian cache:clear" in production?

If you update your app then

php artisian cache:clear

is necessary.

Also you can make a button in your administration where you will call Cache::flush();

@michaloravec Do you have any knowledge perhaps about Redis cluster? Because if you are calling php artisian cache:clear you are also firing the command FLUSHDB. Wouldn't this also delete everything you have in queues and in sessions?

That was the reason why I have asked the question if you ever call cache:clear in production.

Example source: https://aregsar.com/blog/2020/my-laravel-redis-configuration/ In this example for Redis Cluster, all the database values are set to 0

@shadrix Look here

https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/config/cache.php#L77

you can see that redis use cache connection

and cache connection of redis has database set to 1 by default Laravel app

https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/config/database.php#L142

Which means if you run

php artisian cache:clear

It just remove cached data from database and don't touch queues or sessions.

So you are really save to use it in production.

@michaloravec Thanks but this is when you don't use Redis Clusters. Please visit the link: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/redis#configuration and scroll down to Configuring Clusters. You see that the 'database' => 0,is set to 0.

The reason ist because for Redis cluster you are not able to use multiple databases
