I will upgrade your laravel and PHP version without breaking your app


About this gig
Your app runs on a PHP version that stopped getting security patches, and
nobody wants to touch it because nobody knows what will break.
HOW I DE-RISK IT
Before I change a single line, I write tests that capture what your app does
today. You see them pass before the upgrade and pass after it. That is the
difference between "it should work" and "here is the proof".
WHAT YOU GET
- Your app on a current, supported PHP and Laravel version
- The test suite I wrote, yours to keep and run any time
- A written list of every change and why it was needed
- Deprecations fixed, not silenced
HOW IT WORKS
1. Send me your composer.json and current PHP version. I check compatibility
and tell you the real scope before you order. Free.
2. I cover the behaviour you cannot afford to lose with tests.
3. I upgrade, run the suite, and hand it back with the report.
Backend engineer, freelance since 2018. If the upgrade is riskier than it is
worth, I will say so instead of taking the order.
Message me with your PHP version and you get an honest answer.

FAQ
Can you upgrade my application if it is running on a very old version like Laravel 5.x?
Yes. I specialize in restoring and updating legacy systems. I can manually migrate your application from any older version (5.x through 9.x) to the latest stable release of Laravel 11 or 12, ensuring full compatibility with PHP 8.3+.
How do you ensure my custom business logic doesn't break during the upgrade?
I do not use automated scripts that can overlook unique code structures. Coming from a high-precision 3D design background, I apply a "surgical" mindset to backend development. I manually review and test every route, controller, and dependency to ensure your logic remains 100% intact.
Does this service include the migration from Laravel Mix to Vite?
Absolutely. Modernizing your app includes moving from Webpack/Mix to Vite to achieve lightning-fast frontend performance. This is a standard part of my upgrade process to ensure your application meets 2026 performance benchmarks.
Will the updated application be ready for modern cloud deployment?
Yes. I can containerize your newly upgraded Laravel app using Docker and Docker Compose. This ensures your environment is consistent, secure, and easy to deploy on any VPS or cloud provider like AWS or DigitalOcean.
Will my database and SQL queries be optimized during the migration?
Security and structural integrity are priorities. I refactor Eloquent queries and optimize SQL database structures to improve performance, drawing from my experience in database management and optimization.
What happens if my application uses many third-party packages?
I perform a deep audit of your composer.json to resolve version conflicts. I manually update or find modern alternatives for outdated third-party packages to ensure your entire stack is secure and functional on the latest PHP engine.
