Full Project Showcase
Project Summary
We successfully rescued a legacy business portal that was stuck on an End-of-Life (EOL) Laravel 6.0 codebase, exposing it to security vulnerabilities and preventing the use of modern packages.
Technical Implementation
- Audit & Compatibility Check: Audited all third-party package dependencies and replaced abandoned packages with active PHP 8.2 compatible alternatives.
- Incremental Upgrades: Performed incremental version upgrades (6 to 7, 7 to 8, etc.) to isolate breaking changes.
- Strict Testing Coverage: Wrote automated database integration tests and ran validation tools on all major transaction routes.
Impact & Results
- Upgraded the system seamlessly to modern PHP 8.2 and Laravel 11.
- Patched all core software vulnerabilities to achieve complete security compliance.
- Reduced codebase size by 18% through refactoring and framework modernization.
