FAQ

Asked first, every time.

Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.

Yes. Modern PHP 8.3 with Laravel is one of the fastest ways to build production web applications. PHP powers 77% of websites including Facebook, WordPress, and Slack.

Laravel for custom web applications, SaaS, and APIs. WordPress for content-heavy sites, blogs, and e-commerce with WooCommerce. We help you choose based on your requirements.

Yes. We upgrade PHP versions, migrate to Laravel or Symfony, add type safety with PHP 8 features, and implement automated testing — incrementally, without downtime.

PHP 8.3 with JIT compilation is competitive with Node.js for web workloads. Laravel Octane with Swoole provides persistent workers for even higher throughput.

We strictly utilize Composer with committed `composer.lock` files to ensure deterministic builds, and routinely run security audits (like Local PHP Security Checker) to block dependencies with known vulnerabilities.

Yes, we specialize in rescuing legacy "spaghetti" PHP code. We systematically refactor the logic into modern, object-oriented MVC frameworks like Laravel or Symfony without disrupting active production environments.

We utilize advanced ORM eager loading to prevent N+1 query problems, implement raw SQL for complex aggregations, and utilize Redis for caching frequently accessed database results to reduce server load.

We strictly enforce PHP 8 scalar type hints, return types, and utilize static analysis tools like PHPStan or Psalm during CI/CD to catch type errors and memory leaks before they reach production.

While native PHP is synchronous, we utilize modern frameworks like Swoole or ReactPHP, or integrate with tools like Laravel Reverb/Pusher, enabling highly performant asynchronous processing and real-time WebSockets.

We implement PDO prepared statements to block SQL injection, utilize strict Content Security Policies (CSP) to mitigate XSS, and employ robust CSRF tokens and secure HTTP-only cookies for session management.
