What Relationship Do We Build with You?
We build long-term relationships with our clients. Haphazard changes can quickly backfire and introduce regression bugs. But small, gradual steps lead to long-term success.
We get you to the latest PHP/framework version, make CI the next member of your team and help you deliver features faster and cheaper.
What Does the Process Look Like?
1. Intro Analysis
At first, we have to make sure we can help you. We explore the weak spots that would complicate the process and get ready for the battle.
What steps are involved?
- We sign an NDA so your code is safe with us
- Then you share your codebase with us, e.g. in a git repository
- We look into the code with various tools, exploit weak spots and work out the step-by-step plan tailored to your project
- The analysis takes 3 weeks
- Then we send you a PDF with the results and a suggested plan so you can discuss it with your team
- We finish this phase with a call about how to proceed
2. Hands-on Upgrade
After we agree on next steps, we start the upgrade work. Our team provides 10-30 hours/week of direct help, depending on the pace you prefer. We dedicate a developer with Rector experience on legacy code to your project.
This phase usually takes 6-12 months depending on the upgrade target and code quality of your project.
What steps are involved?
- We improve code quality to make bigger changes more reliable
- We deliver the smallest PR possible so that you can see changes yourself and merge it immediately
- We make sure the work is always in a finished state in every PR
- We ensure CI helps catch regressions so there is a safety net, and we can move without fear
- We work in parallel to your team, so you can keep delivering features and grow your business
