Laravel & Core PHP Maintenance

Custom apps don't come with an update button. Ours come with a dedicated developer who keeps them patched, fast and improving.

Laravel & Core PHP Maintenance

Your custom app is an asset — until nobody's looking after it

A custom Laravel or Core PHP application has no vendor pushing patches, no app store reminding you about updates. Framework vulnerabilities get published, Composer dependencies drift out of date, PHP versions reach end-of-life — and the original developer moved on two years ago. The app still works, right up until the day it doesn't.

Our maintenance engagements put an experienced PHP developer back on your codebase — part-time, full-time, or a whole team. We keep dependencies current, patch security issues before they're exploited, watch your servers and queues around the clock, and steadily work through the improvements your backlog has been collecting.

  • Experienced Laravel & PHP developers
  • Staging-first patches & updates
  • Security & dependency audits
  • Queue, cron & server monitoring
  • Backups with rollback ready
  • Guaranteed response SLA

What's Covered

Everything your application needs, month after month

From emergency fixes to steady improvement — one engagement covers the full life of your codebase.

Bug Fixes & Issue Triage

Reported issues reproduced, diagnosed and fixed properly — with root causes addressed, not just symptoms patched over.

Security Patches & Dependencies

Framework patches, Composer dependency updates and PHP version compatibility — applied on staging, tested, then deployed.

Performance Optimization

Slow queries, N+1 problems, missing cache layers — we find what's dragging your app down and fix it methodically.

Server, Queue & Cron Health

Workers, schedulers, logs and disk space watched continuously — the invisible plumbing that fails silently until it matters.

Feature Enhancements

Small features and improvements from your backlog, worked into your plan hours — so the app keeps evolving, not just surviving.

Monitoring & Incident Response

Error tracking and uptime alerts around the clock — and when something breaks in production, you're first in the queue.

How It Works

Care that runs like clockwork

From day one you'll know the state of your codebase, what's being worked on, and what's next — in plain English.

  1. Week 1

    Codebase & Server Audit

    We review code quality, dependency versions, security exposure and server setup — and fix anything urgent first.

  2. Week 1–2

    Monitoring & Safeguards

    Error tracking and uptime monitoring go live, and your backup-and-rollback routine is verified end to end.

  3. Weekly

    Patch & Update Cycle

    Security patches and dependency updates are applied on staging, tested, then deployed — with rollback ready.

  4. Monthly

    Backlog & Improvements

    Fixes and small features from your prioritized backlog — summarized in a plain-English monthly report.

  5. Anytime

    Incident Response

    App down, queue stuck, error spike? You contact us directly — guaranteed response within your engagement's SLA.
