I will upgrade your old laravel or PHP app to a current, secure version


About this gig
Still on Laravel 8 and PHP 7.4? Every month the upgrade gets more expensive. Composer refuses to install anything useful, security advisories pile up, and good developers will not touch the project.
I move old Laravel and PHP applications to current, supported versions without breaking what already works.
HOW I WORK
1. I check out your code and reproduce your setup locally
2. I upgrade in version steps, not one giant leap - each step verified before the next
3. I resolve deprecations and breaking changes in your code, not just in the vendor folder
4. I test your critical flows and document exactly what changed
5. You get the work as a branch or pull request, so you review before anything reaches production
I never push to your production branch.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Message me with two things: your current Laravel version and your PHP version. I will come back with a fixed price and a realistic timeline, so there are no surprises halfway through.
8+ years of commercial PHP and Laravel work. Based in the EU - I overlap with European hours and US mornings.

FAQ
Will this break my live site?
The work arrives as a branch or pull request and is never pushed straight to production. You review it and deploy on your own schedule.
My app has no tests. Is that a problem?
Common, and not a blocker. I ask you for a list of your critical flows, verify those by hand, and document exactly what I checked.
How far back can you go?
I have worked with Laravel 5.x and PHP 5.6-era code. The older it is, the more it needs a custom quote - message me first.
Can you upgrade the front end too?
Usually, if it is Vue, React or plain JavaScript. Mention it up front so it goes into the quote rather than becoming a surprise.
