Why Migrate to Laravel
Legacy PHP becomes expensive — security patches stop, hiring gets harder, and every feature risks regression. Laravel migration gives you structured auth, queues, testing, and a talent pool without throwing away domain knowledge.
GreeLogix does not recommend big-bang rewrites unless the legacy system is tiny. We migrate high-value modules first, validate data at every step, and keep production revenue paths protected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the buyer questions we hear most before a project starts.
- What is Laravel migration?
- Moving legacy PHP, CodeIgniter, or custom apps to Laravel — or upgrading old Laravel versions — with data migration, parallel running, and phased cutover.
- How long does migration to Laravel take?
- 10–20 weeks depending on codebase size, data complexity, and whether you migrate incrementally or big-bang.
- How much does Laravel migration cost?
- $25,000–$80,000 for most business apps. Start with a $2,500–$8,000 audit for a fixed migration plan.
- Can we migrate without downtime?
- Often yes — strangler pattern, read replicas, and feature flags let you migrate module by module while production stays live.
- Do you migrate databases to Laravel?
- Yes. Schema mapping, Eloquent models, data validation scripts, and rollback plans are part of delivery.
- What if our legacy code is undocumented?
- Discovery sprint first — we map routes, data flows, and critical paths before estimating migration phases.
