Flysystem Read Only Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Security & Compliance: Enforces strict read-only access for sensitive data (e.g., audit logs, regulatory documents), eliminating accidental modifications and meeting industry standards like HIPAA or GDPR without custom code.
• Build vs. Buy: Eliminates need to develop/maintain custom read-only logic, leveraging a mature, officially supported solution from Flysystem’s ecosystem. Reduces technical debt and testing overhead vs. in-house alternatives.
• Use Cases: Ideal for immutable asset serving (e.g., PDF viewers, public file-sharing endpoints), backup systems, and scenarios requiring write prohibition at the storage layer while preserving read functionality.

  • You require a lightweight, zero-configuration solution to prevent accidental writes in production.
• Look elsewhere when:
  • Your application doesn’t use Flysystem (consider native solutions or alternative storage libraries).
  • You need advanced read-only features beyond basic write blocking (e.g.,
