PHP Development that’s fast, secure, and scalable

We create new applications, and modernize legacy PHP systems with clean architecture, amazing performance, flexible interoperability. Frameworks like Laravel when it helps - otherwise lean, portable custom PHP.

Overview

Modern PHP unleashing the full power of today's PHP capabilities

We ship PHP backends and web apps that are straightforward to operate and extend. Fanatical DevOps processes ensure your builds are bullet-proof and dependable.

If it speeds delivery, we’ll recommend frameworks like Laravel for routing, queues, and authorization. If a slimmer footprint it more in line with your operations, we stick to custom PHP with a few well-chosen libraries.

Capabilities

What we build with PHP

APIs & Webhooks

REST/JSON, pagination, versioning, rate limits, and validation.

Admin & Back Office

Role-specific portals with fast tables, filters, exports, and audit logs.

Integrations

ERP/CRM, payments, identity (SSO), documents, search, and messaging queues.

Performance & Scale

Query tuning, caching layers, queues, read/write split, and instrumentation.

Security & Compliance

Input/output hardening, secrets, encryption, RBAC, retention, and change control docs.

Modernization

Upgrade to PHP 8.x, modernize modules, and apply latest architectures safely.

Front-end (React.js) Our DevOps approach

Approach

Simple, testable architecture

We keep features separate, dependencies minimal, and interfaces clear - so features don’t create side effects. Laravel when it accelerates, custom PHP when it simpler is better.

Composer-managed dependencies
Controllers → services → views; pure domain logic
Queues for slow work; removing latency
Thorough testing keeps bugs to a minimum
CI/CD allows for seamless upgrades and hot fixes

FAQ

PHP questions we get a lot

No. We prefer clean and lean custom PHP with a few libraries if that meets your requirements. We can also use Laravel (or other frameworks) when its modules (routing, queues, auth) clearly speed delivery or maintenance.

Absolutely. We can upgrade your legacy application without interruption. Improves performance, security and usability while upgrading technology for the future.

Secure endpoints, queues for slow work, circuit breakers/timeouts, caching, and clear telemetry (logs/metrics/traces). We test performance profiles before rollout.
