Stop Hardcoding Services — Laravel Facade with Strategy Pattern

Pattern in play:
Facade (Laravel Facade for a subsystem).3
Strategy(Pluggable implementations selected by Config).
Service Provider for IoC binding.

In this implementation, we define an AuditLogger interface that describes what the system should do, not how it does it.
We then create multiple implementations of this interface, such as logging to the database or to Laravel’s log files.
Using a service provider, we bind the interface to a concrete implementation based on configuration.
Finally, the facade acts as a clean, static-looking proxy that resolves the correct implementation from the service container at runtime

When Should You Use This Kind of Facade?
You should use this type of facade when:
You want to switch implementations without changing application code
The behavior depends on configuration or environment
You want clean syntax while keeping your code loosely coupled
The service is used in many places across the application
Typical use cases include audit logging, notifications, caching strategies, and external integrations
