Modernize legacy PHP without risking your production system.
We lock your system behavior through automated testing before migration so your business continues running safely while your technology evolves.
What we
Modernize.
Our work is designed for growing companies that:
Depend on a PHP system that no one fully understands.
Are stuck on older PHP versions that block growth.
Avoid touching critical modules out of fear of regression.
Struggle to hire developers willing to work on legacy code.
Need modernization without operational disruption.
Typical Starting Point.
Older PHP Versions
PHP 5.6 or 7.x systems that cannot easily be upgraded.
Legacy Frameworks
CodeIgniter 2 or 3, Zend Framework 1 or 2, CakePHP 2, older Symfony applications.
Custom Monoliths
Tightly coupled code, direct database access, mixed responsibilities, undocumented logic.
Business Critical Modules
Billing systems, customer portals, order processing, reporting tools, integrations, cron jobs and background workers.
The Target State.
Before migration begins, we align on a clearly defined target stack. Our default target is a modern TypeScript backend but we also support modern PHP when that better fits your team.
TypeScript Backend
NestJS or comparable frameworks, type-safe domain logic, strict module boundaries, and clean dependency management.
Modern PHP Target
PHP 8.2 or 8.3, current Laravel version or LTS, structured Composer setup, PSR-aligned architecture.
Infrastructure Alignment
Docker-ready local development, CI checks, static analysis, and deployment alignment with your hosting model.
What makes our
Approach different.
Most migrations fail because teams rewrite first and understand later.
We reverse that. Before changing your system, we define exactly how it behaves today. We generate automated tests around the critical business flows so nothing changes unintentionally. Only after the behavior is secured do we migrate.
// This approach protects:
How the
process
works.
We work in clearly defined steps so risk stays controlled.
Scope Definition
We select one clearly defined module. No full system rewrite.
Behavior Locking
We generate automated tests for all critical business flows in that module.
Controlled Migration
The module is rebuilt in the agreed modern stack.
Validation
The migrated version must pass all previously defined tests.
Quality Checks
Static analysis and structured review ensure maintainability.
Delivery
You receive production-ready code, tests and documentation.
What you
Gain.
Operational Safety
Your business keeps running during the transition.
Reduced Technical Risk
Critical modules are protected by automated tests.
Future Maintainability
You receive a modern, structured foundation that your team can extend.
Easier Hiring
Developers prefer working on modern, test-covered systems.
Incremental Progress
We modernize step by step. No big bang rewrites.
Concrete
Deliverables.
Tangible results from day one.
Engagement Model
We begin with one module. Then you decide.
- No long-term lock-in.
- No forced full-system rewrite.
- No disruption of ongoing dev.
Production-ready
A migrated module, ready for your production environment.
Automated Tests
A comprehensive test suite for the migrated logic.
Documentation
Clear instructions for running and maintaining the module.
Next Steps
A technical recommendation for your next module.

Technical
FAQ.
Will our system go offline during migration?
No. Migration is performed in parallel and validated before integration.
How do you prevent regressions?
All critical behavior is defined and locked through automated testing before migration.
Can we stop after one module?
Yes. Each module stands on its own.
Is our business logic safe?
Yes. We operate under strict confidentiality agreements.
Do we need a large internal team?
No. Our process is designed to work alongside small technical teams.
