// Build: Backend
PHP & Laravel development for SaaS, APIs, and modernisation
Laravel applications built to last, REST APIs, multi-tenant SaaS, queue architecture, Livewire/Inertia full-stack, and legacy PHP codebase modernisation.
// Capabilities
Laravel development scope
Laravel REST APIs
Resource controllers, form requests, API resources, Sanctum/Passport auth, rate limiting, API versioning, and OpenAPI documentation.
SaaS Platforms
Multi-tenancy with Spatie or schema-based isolation, Stripe billing integration, feature flagging, and subscriber lifecycle management.
Laravel Livewire & Inertia.js
Full-stack reactive UIs without heavy JavaScript complexity. Livewire for blade-first teams, Inertia.js for React/Vue frontends with Laravel backends.
E-commerce Platforms
Custom Laravel e-commerce or Bagisto builds, product catalog, checkout, payment gateways, inventory, and order management APIs.
Queue & Event Architecture
Laravel Queues with Redis/SQS, Event-Listener patterns, Broadcasting with Pusher or Soketi, and scheduled commands via Laravel Scheduler.
Legacy PHP Modernisation
Migrating legacy CodeIgniter, CakePHP, or custom PHP to Laravel, strangler pattern, incremental migration, database normalisation, and test coverage ramp-up.
Modern Laravel is not your 2010 PHP
Laravel has transformed PHP development, expressive syntax, first-class tooling, and a rich ecosystem that includes authentication, queuing, broadcasting, scheduling, file storage, and testing utilities. It is a legitimate choice for production SaaS platforms.
We pair Laravel with a strict code review process, typed properties in PHP 8.2+, strict PHPStan static analysis, feature-test coverage, and structured deployment via Forge or Docker.
// Standards
- PHP 8.2+ with typed properties and enums
- PHPStan Level 8 enforced in CI
- Form Requests for all input validation
- Service-layer pattern above Eloquent models
- Horizon for queue monitoring and metrics
- Telescope for local debugging
- Pest for expressive test authoring
- Laravel Forge + Envoyer or Docker-based deployment
// In practice
How php/laravel development engagements run
Laravel builds include queue workers, Horizon monitoring, and migration-tested schema changes — suited to admin portals, membership platforms, and API backends where PHP is already the team strength. Discovery maps auth, billing, and integration surfaces before sprint one.

// FAQ
PHP/Laravel development questions
Is Laravel still a good choice for new projects in 2025?+
Yes. Laravel's ecosystem, developer experience, and community support remain strong. For PHP-native teams, multi-tenant SaaS, and projects with mixed technical skill levels, Laravel's opinionated conventions significantly accelerate delivery.
How do you handle multi-tenancy in Laravel?+
We evaluate schema-based isolation (separate database per tenant) vs row-level isolation (shared schema with tenant_id) based on data isolation requirements, scale expectations, and operational complexity. We use Spatie Multitenancy or custom implementations depending on the use case.
Can you modernise our legacy PHP codebase?+
Yes. We assess the existing codebase, identify business-critical paths, write characterisation tests to document current behaviour, then migrate incrementally using the strangler pattern, new features in Laravel, gradual replacement of legacy pages without a big-bang rewrite.
How do you approach testing in Laravel?+
Feature tests for API endpoints using Laravel's HTTP testing layer, unit tests for service and domain classes, database factories for realistic test data, and Pest or PHPUnit based on team preference. Coverage is focused on critical business logic rather than targeting arbitrary percentage thresholds.
