PHP upgrade and migration services in Washington, DC
Ship faster with senior engineers at offshore rates, overlapping your morning with a daily live stand-up.
Clarigo Infotech upgrades and migrates legacy PHP applications: PHP 5 and 7 to PHP 8, hand-written PHP to Laravel or Symfony, old CMS and framework versions to supported ones, or a full move to Node.js or another stack when that is the better long-term choice. We add tests first, then upgrade step by step, so the site or app keeps working throughout.
US companies most often hire us for AI agents, HIPAA-ready healthcare software and SaaS MVPs for funded startups.

What our PHP migration covers
PHP version upgrades

Framework upgrades
Old Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP and Zend versions brought up to supported releases.
Legacy PHP to Laravel
Unstructured PHP code reorganised into a clean, tested Laravel or Symfony application.
PHP to Node.js or other stacks
A planned migration to Node.js, Python or another stack when it fits your team and roadmap.
Database and hosting
MySQL upgrades, query fixes, and a move from shared hosting to containers or the cloud.
Security and performance
Security patches, dependency updates, caching and profiling so the app is safe and fast.
How we approach PHP migration
Why PHP upgrades can't wait
Older PHP versions no longer receive security updates, and many hosts and libraries are dropping support. An upgrade closes known vulnerabilities and usually makes the application noticeably faster.
Tests before changes
Legacy PHP rarely has tests. We add them around the most important flows first, so we can prove the upgraded version behaves exactly like the old one.
How we work with Washington DC clients

HIPAA and US state privacy laws
For healthcare we build to HIPAA requirements: role-based access, encryption, audit logs and HIPAA-eligible cloud hosting, with BAAs in place for vendors that touch PHI. For other products we follow US privacy laws such as CCPA, and we sign NDAs before any work starts.
