What Are Laravel Development Services?

Laravel development covers the full lifecycle of PHP applications built on the framework — new builds, ongoing maintenance, modernizing legacy codebases with Livewire or Inertia frontends, pulling out headless APIs, and migrating to Next.js when performance, SEO, or team velocity actually makes it necessary. The work starts wherever your app is right now and moves it to where it needs to be.

Waar projecten falen

Legacy Laravel 5.x or 6.x app stuck on unsupported PHP versions Unpatched security vulnerabilities and no developers willing to touch the stack.
Blade templates causing slow, full-page-reload UX Users bounce, conversions drop, and the app feels years behind competitors running reactive frontends.
Monolithic architecture that can't scale independently One traffic spike in a single module brings down the entire application.
No test coverage on business-critical code paths Every deploy is a gamble — regressions ship to production undetected.
Ecommerce logic tightly coupled to Laravel views You can't add a mobile app, headless storefront, or third-party integration without rewriting checkout.
Team wants to move to React/Next.js but can't justify a full rewrite You stay stuck on PHP indefinitely or burn budget on a big-bang rewrite that never ships.

Compliance

Laravel Maintenance & Upgrades

We upgrade your app across Laravel and PHP versions with zero downtime. That means dependency audits, deprecation fixes, and CI pipeline hardening — the unglamorous work that keeps production stable.

Livewire 3 Integration

Add reactive, real-time UI without leaving PHP. We retrofit Livewire into existing Blade templates or build new features as Livewire components from scratch.

Inertia.js + React/Vue Frontend

Swap out Blade for a modern SPA experience while keeping your Laravel backend exactly where it is. One codebase, no separate API layer required.

Headless Laravel API

We pull your business logic out into a clean REST or GraphQL API. Decouple your frontend so any client — Next.js, mobile, POS — can consume it on its own terms.

Legacy Code Modernization

We refactor raw PHP, custom frameworks, and early Laravel apps into modern, testable Laravel 11 codebases. Typed PHP and real test coverage included.

Laravel to Next.js Migration

When PHP becomes the actual bottleneck, we migrate your frontend to Next.js while preserving your Laravel API or replacing it entirely. Incremental steps, not a big-bang rewrite.

Wat we bouwen

PHP 8.3 & Laravel 11 Upgrades

Version-by-version upgrades with automated test suites verifying every step.

Queue & Job Architecture

Offload heavy processing to Laravel Horizon with Redis-backed queues and real-time monitoring.

Multi-tenant SaaS Scaffolding

Database-per-tenant or shared-database tenancy with Stancl or custom implementations.

Ecommerce API Extraction

Decouple cart, checkout, and inventory into headless services any frontend can consume.

CI/CD & Zero-Downtime Deploys

GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipelines with Forge, Envoyer, or Kubernetes-based deployments.

Performance Profiling

Catch N+1 queries, slow middleware, and memory leaks using Debugbar, Telescope, and custom APM tooling.

Ons proces

01

Codebase Audit

We clone your repo and run static analysis, dependency checks, and performance profiling. You get a written report with every issue ranked by severity and the realistic effort to fix it.
Week 1
02

Architecture Plan

From the audit findings, we design the target architecture — whether that's a Livewire upgrade, headless API extraction, or a Next.js migration path. You sign off on the plan before we write a single line of code.
Week 2
03

Incremental Build

We work in two-week sprints and ship testable increments to staging. Every sprint ends with a demo. No black-box development, no surprises.
Weeks 3–8
04

Migration & Cutover

Zero-downtime deployment with feature flags, database migrations, and rollback plans — all tested in staging before anything touches production.
Week 9
05

Stabilization & Handoff

Thirty days of post-launch monitoring, bug fixes, and knowledge transfer. We document everything and make sure your team actually understands the new stack before we hand it over.

Veelgestelde vragen

How long does a Laravel version upgrade take?

A single major version jump — say, Laravel 9 to 10 — typically takes one to two weeks depending on test coverage, custom packages, and how much deprecated API usage is buried in the codebase. Multi-version jumps like 5.x to 11 are phased over four to eight weeks, with intermediate staging deployments at each major version so regressions surface early rather than all at once.

Should I use Livewire or Inertia.js for my Laravel frontend?

Livewire makes sense if your team is PHP-first and wants reactive UI without writing JavaScript. Inertia fits better when you want a full React or Vue SPA experience but don't want the overhead of a separate API. We look at your team's actual skills and your product requirements before recommending either — not just what's trending.

When should I migrate from Laravel to Next.js?

Migrate when frontend performance, SEO requirements, or hiring genuinely demands a JavaScript-first stack. If your Laravel app already works primarily as an API and your frontend is React via Inertia, that migration is incremental anyway. We don't push Next.js because it's popular — only when PHP is a measurable bottleneck with data to back it up.

Can you extract a headless API from my existing Laravel monolith?

Yes. We identify the business logic buried in controllers and Blade views, extract it into service classes, and expose it through versioned REST or GraphQL endpoints. The existing Blade frontend keeps working throughout, so your users don't see any downtime or feature freeze while the work happens underneath.

Do you offer ongoing Laravel maintenance retainers?

We offer monthly retainers covering security patches, dependency updates, performance monitoring, and a set number of feature development hours. Retainers start at $2,000/month. Every client gets a dedicated Slack channel and same-day response on anything critical.

What if my app isn't Laravel — it's raw PHP or another framework?

We handle migrations from CodeIgniter, Symfony, CakePHP, and custom PHP frameworks to Laravel. It starts with the same codebase audit. We map existing routes, database schemas, and business logic, then rebuild incrementally in Laravel with test coverage added at each stage.
