Getenv does not work on EC2 server

Question

I am trying to deploy my application to production, which works well in local mode.

Thing when trying:

dd(getenv('APP_ENV'));

it returns false

but when i plug in ssh and type:

php artisan env

I get

production

Any idea why it stopped working ???

To record while creating my deployment script, run 3 commands:

composer dump-autoload -o
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:cache

I mention this because it is probably the only software config that is different.

EDIT: I believe the problematic command is:

php artisan config:cache

If if do:

php artisan config:clear

the problem is resolved.

Tx!
