I will migrate legacy PHP, codeigniter, or yii to modern laravel
Kalpesh
About this gig
Is your legacy application becoming a liability? Outdated PHP frameworks (like CodeIgniter, Yii, or raw PHP) expose your business to security vulnerabilities, slow server performance, and make it nearly impossible to hire modern developers to scale your platform.
I am an Engineering Leader with 15+ years of experience specializing in high-stakes framework migrations. I help enterprises untangle "spaghetti code" and safely transition their revenue-generating systems to modern, scalable Laravel architecture.
My Zero-Downtime Migration Process:
- Deep Architecture Audit: I don't just copy-paste code. I map your existing database schemas, document undocumented business logic, and identify critical bottlenecks.
- Database Modernization: Upgrading legacy MySQL structures to optimized, relational Laravel migrations and seeders.
- Secure Refactoring: Rewriting outdated procedural code into clean, object-oriented Laravel MVC components and REST APIs.
- Safe Deployment: Utilizing AWS and Docker to ensure a seamless, zero-downtime transition from the old system to the new.
What I Migrate:
- Core/Raw PHP to Laravel
- CodeIgniter to Laravel
- Yii 1 / Yii 2 to Laravel
- Older Laravel versions to the Latest

FAQ
Will my live application experience downtime during the migration?
No. I utilize a parallel deployment strategy. The new Laravel application is built and tested in a staging environment. We only route traffic to the new system once everything is verified, ensuring zero to minimal downtime.
Do you also migrate the database data?
Yes. I do not just move the code; I modernize the database architecture. I will create automated migration scripts to securely port your live data from the old schema into the optimized Laravel schema.
Do I need to pay for the full migration up front?
No. For large-scale legacy apps, I always start with a Technical Audit (Basic Package) to map out undocumented logic. Once the audit is complete, we break the actual migration into measurable milestones.
Will the frontend/UI change during this backend migration?
That depends on your goals. We can preserve your existing frontend by turning the new Laravel backend into a REST API, or we can rebuild the UI using modern Blade templates, Vue, or React.
