Out-of-support Laravel doesn't just block features — it blocks security patches, package updates, and hiring. We upgrade Laravel systems the boring way: audit first, fix the deploy, upgrade in steps.
Anonymized example of a Laravel 6 → 11 path. Real engagements follow the same shape.
Laravel 6 · MySQL 5.7 · custom VPS · Audit + Handover + Upgrade · 8 weeks
Laravel version, PHP version, package constraints, custom service providers, queue workers, scheduled jobs, third-party integrations. Every blocker surfaced before scoping the upgrade.
Staging environment that mirrors production. Deploy script. Tested rollback. Composer lock cleaned. Test coverage on the flows that pay the bills.
Laravel 6 → 7 → 8 → 9 → 10 → 11 in steps. Each step deployed to staging, smoke-tested, and shipped. Rollback path stays viable across the whole sequence.
Fixed scope, fixed price. Audit first — no upgrade work quoted before the system is mapped.
Laravel upgrades sit inside a broader playbook covering all legacy PHP frameworks and runtimes.
Audit-first, fixed scope, reversible. Even Laravel 5 systems can reach a maintained version without a rewrite.
