- ·Companies with security/compliance pressure on legacy code
- ·Products after failed vendor delivery
- ·Laravel versions past official support
When NOT to use this service
- ·Legacy will retire in <6 months anyway
- ·No access to production data patterns
- ·Mandatory zero-risk big-bang with no parallel period
Pros / Benefits
- +Modern security and hiring pool
- +Testable Laravel architecture
- +Incremental risk reduction
Risks to Plan For
- −Big-bang rewrite loses domain edge cases

- −Skipping audit underestimates scope
How Does Laravel Migration Services Compare to Alternatives?
Compare delivery models, cost profiles, and engineering tradeoffs before committing resources.
| Option / Approach | Best When | Primary Tradeoff / Risk | Recommended Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wrap legacy in API | Short-term bridge — still plan Laravel migration | Requires ongoing internal technical governance, architectural oversight, and dedicated maintenance resources. | Self-directed internal teams |
| Full rewrite | Only when legacy is tiny or unmaintainable | High upfront capital expense, extended delivery schedules, and feature parity regression risks during migration. | Legacy stacks beyond maintenance |
| GreeLogix Pod | Accountable production delivery with senior engineers, weekly demos, and fixed milestone velocity. | Requires active product owner for weekly sprint reviews and scope alignment. | Production & Scaling (Recommended) |

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.
