Keeping a business-critical PHP system stable while its replacement platform was being delivered.
Maintain while modernising
The legacy PHP system was maintained while a new .NET platform was being developed, protecting day-to-day operations throughout the transition.
Selected parts of the application were rebuilt with Laravel and an Angular frontend, allowing clients to query information through an API.
A safer operating environment
Older applications were wrapped in Docker so they could move safely to a newer server. Ansible was used to make the server setup repeatable.
What the work delivered
- Protected continuity during migration
- Introduced an API for client queries
- Containerised older applications
- Automated server configuration
