We have a Laravel-based admin panel (originally a CodeCanyon script) that was recently updated and merged with custom modifications. Post-merge, we are facing critical issues with AWS S3 integration and general system latency. We need an expert to resolve these via a remote session (HelpWire/AnyDesk). Key Issues to Resolve: AWS S3 Signature Mismatch: The admin panel is currently throwing SignatureDoesNotMatch errors. The S3 configuration (Access Keys, Secret Keys, Bucket, and Region) is currently "locked" or not updating correctly in the database/config. API Performance Optimization: We are noticing "dual API entries" or redundant calls being triggered. This has caused a significant slowdown in loading menus and dashboard elements. Config Persistence: Ensure that the Admin UI correctly updates the .env or database settings for third-party integrations so changes stick. Merge Conflict Cleanup: Audit the merged controllers and providers to ensure no duplicate logic was introduced during the CodeCanyon update. Technical Stack: Backend: Laravel Storage: AWS S3 (Region: ap-south-2) Remote Tool: HelpWire / TeamViewer Database: MySQL Requirements: Proven experience with AWS SDK for PHP and S3 signing processes. Deep understanding of Laravel configuration caching and .env management. Ability to debug slow API responses using Laravel Telescope or Clockwork. Must be available for a live remote session to perform the fixes. Deliverables: Functional AWS S3 file uploading/viewing. Optimization of the menu loading speed and removal of redundant API calls. A brief summary of what was causing the conflict for future reference. Tips for your Developer: When you find a developer, you should point them toward these specific areas: config/filesystems.php: Check if the s3 disk is pulling from env() or a database setting. If it's hardcoded, that's why your changes aren't working. app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php: Look for any logic that overrides config at runtime (common in CodeCanyon scripts). php artisan route:list: Have them run this to see if duplicate routes were created during the merge. Query Logs: Use DB::enableQueryLog() to identify why the menus are loading slowly—it's likely an "N+1" query problem introduced by the merge.
