Project Brief
A company has a legacy core PHP application built using custom frameworks and libraries. The application has become difficult to maintain, lacks modern features, and is not scalable. The team decides to migrate to Laravel to leverage its robust features and MVC architecture.
Business Needs & Challenges
The existing Core PHP application lacks a structured framework, leading to inconsistent coding practices and frequent maintenance difficulties. Debugging is time-consuming due to the absence of standardized error handling and logging. Additionally, performance issues and the lack of caching make scaling the platform challenging.
The platform suffers from an outdated and unresponsive UI, creating a poor experience on mobile and tablets. Inconsistent design elements and the absence of reusable front-end components make development inefficient and time-consuming.
The legacy system is outdated and struggles to meet modern application standards. Key challenges include redesigning the application, mapping old functionalities to a new structure, and ensuring compatibility with third-party integrations.
With no structured error-handling system in place, tracking and debugging failures is inefficient. Errors are not consistently logged, making issue resolution slow and unreliable.
The system experiences slow response times due to inefficient database queries and a lack of caching mechanisms. Performance bottlenecks limit its ability to handle high traffic and growing data volumes.
The application is exposed to security risks, including CSRF, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting (XSS), due to inadequate security controls. Weak authentication and authorization mechanisms further compromise data protection.
The legacy codebase requires frequent fixes and workarounds, leading to high maintenance costs and longer development cycles for new features.
