Do you know these challenges?

Security Vulnerabilities
Your legacy code hasn’t been patched in years, leaving hidden security holes that put your system and data at risk.
High Maintenance Costs
Keeping aging code running drains your budget and ties up your developers’ time. Every small fix or update turns into a costly, time-consuming ordeal.
Outdated Codebase
Your application is stuck on an old Symfony/PHP version (for example, Symfony 1.x), missing out on new features and critical fixes. Upgrading feels daunting without expert help or a solid automated test suite in place.
Sluggish Performance
Outdated architecture and unoptimized code slow down your application, frustrating users. You end up needing expensive infrastructure upgrades just to handle the load.

You are not alone!

Many companies face similar challenges in software development—scalability, expertise gaps, staffing shortages, and reactivity issues. Let’s tackle them together!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you upgrade legacy Symfony projects without breaking things?

We follow Symfony’s recommended upgrade paths and remove deprecated code step by step. Tools like Rector and automated tests help us modernize safely, without breaking functionality.

What if our code has no tests – can you still refactor it?

Yes. We add “characterization” tests to capture current behavior, then refactor incrementally. Static analysis and CI pipelines help catch issues early and keep everything stable.

How do you handle outdated libraries and Composer dependencies?

We audit all packages, update them gradually, and replace abandoned ones. Each change is tested thoroughly. This ensures compatibility with modern Symfony and PHP versions.

Can modernization really improve performance?

Absolutely. We profile your app, optimize slow queries, implement caching, and remove legacy overhead. Running on modern PHP and Symfony alone brings noticeable speed boosts.

Isn’t this risky and expensive?

Not with the right approach. We modernize in small, safe steps. You gain better security, lower maintenance costs, and a codebase that’s easier to extend — a smart long-term investment.
