Your PHP application. Rebuilt for what’s next.
We assess the application you run today, then rebuild it in a new repository — preserving its business logic, proven with parity tests, and handed over to your team. Specialist-led, not an automatic code converter.
The application still works. That is exactly why it’s risky to leave alone.
Unsupported runtimes
Older PHP versions and frameworks stop receiving security fixes. Upgrading in place is often harder than it looks.
Knowledge concentrated in few people
Business rules live in code only one or two people understand. Every change becomes slower and more cautious.
Integration friction
Connecting modern APIs, identity providers and data tools to a monolith takes workarounds that add risk.
User expectations moved on
Customers and staff compare your interface with the best software they use every day.
Two decisions, made separately.
An Assessment tells you what you have and what it would take to move. Whether to migrate — and how — is a second decision, made with the Report in hand.
Assessment
STEP ONEA fixed-scope, paid review of your existing application by Talya Smart engineers.
- —Architecture, dependencies and data model
- —Business-critical workflows and integrations
- —Risks, unknowns and candidate target stacks
Migration
ONLY IF YOU PROCEEDA separate Migration Proposal, then a Migration Contract. Development starts after authorization and payment.
- —New application in a new repository
- —Phased delivery with testing at each stage
- —Documented handover to your team
The right target depends on what your application actually does.
We recommend a stack in the Assessment Report — often a combination, rarely a single framework.
Data-heavy business systems
ERP, CRM and back-office apps with complex rules and relational data.
php2python.org →APIs and integration backends
Service backends, event-driven flows, queues and third-party integrations.
php2node.com →Interfaces and dashboards
Server-rendered product UIs. Heavy processing usually lives in a separate backend.
php2next.com →Content and marketing sites
WordPress replacements, optionally with a headless CMS. Plugins assessed one by one.
wordpress2astro.com →Rebuild, not translate.
Line-by-line conversion carries old problems into new code. We rebuild behavior deliberately, using the old system as the specification.
- 1MapWorkflows, data, integrations, edge cases.
- 2DesignTarget architecture and phase plan.
- 3BuildNew repository, reviewed increments.
- 4VerifyParity tests derived from legacy behavior.
- 5RehearseData migration dry-runs before cutover.
- 6Hand overDocs, access, knowledge transfer.
Your current system keeps running until you decide otherwise.
Legacy stays live
We never push to your legacy repository or touch production during the build.
Authorized cutover
Runs only under a separate, signed cutover authorization in an agreed window.
Two rollback plans
Separate DNS/traffic and data rollback plans, defined before cutover.
Your code, your repo
Ownership terms are set out in the Contract.
What the Assessment Report contains.
- 01Current-state architecture
Components, runtime versions, hosting, dependencies. - 02Functional inventory
Modules, workflows, roles, scheduled jobs. - 03Data and integrations
Schema overview, external systems, migration concerns. - 04Risk register
Technical, operational and unknown areas, ranked. - 05Target architecture and estimate
Recommended stack, alternatives considered, migration outline, and a non-binding effort and budget estimate.
Do you use AI to convert our code automatically?+
No. Specialists analyze and rebuild your application. AI-assisted review is optional, off by default, and only used with a separate consent that names the provider. Every output is reviewed by a specialist, and nothing is converted automatically.
Are we committed to a migration after the Assessment?+
No. The Assessment and its Report are a standalone engagement. A Migration Proposal and Contract are separate documents you can accept or decline.
When do you need access to our source code?+
Only after an Assessment is agreed and you have signed separate read-only access and code-processing authorizations. Code is analyzed statically and never executed. Please don’t send code through the contact form.
Can you tell us the migration cost now?+
Not responsibly. The Assessment Report includes a non-binding effort and budget estimate based on modules, integrations, data and tests — never lines of code alone. Binding terms only appear in a Migration Proposal.
Do you work with WordPress sites too?+
Yes. Content sites can often move to Astro; commerce, memberships, booking and custom plugins are assessed individually.
Tell us about the application.
A short conversation to understand what you run and what you need. No code, no commitment.
