Sometimes you might have no access (SSH) to the terminal in production. In this case, you can define a new web route to clear the cache.
# /routes/web.php
<?php
Route::get('/clear-all-cache', function () {
Artisan::call('cache:clear');
Artisan::call('config:clear');
Artisan::call('route:clear');
Artisan::call('view:clear');
return 'The application cache has been cleared';
});
