Technology migration

A technological migration is necessary if your application uses languages or frameworks that are no longer supported (end of life), if it suffers from chronic performance or safety problems due to its technical stack, or if it becomes too complex and costly to maintain and upgrade. It's an investment in the future of your SME. A technical audit can help you make this decision.

Risks include data loss, functional regression or significant delays. At Geekworkers, we minimise these risks by rigorous planning, of the exhaustive tests at each stage (unitary, integration, non-regression), the controlled data migration and, if possible, a phased approach (gradual migration).

Often, yes, or at least a substantial overhaul. Changing backend frameworks (e.g. from an old homemade PHP to Laravel) or frontend technology (e.g. from jQuery to React) generally involves rewriting a large part of the code. The aim is to retain the business logic while transposing it onto a new, more solid technical foundation. See our redesign and optimisation.

The choice depends on the nature of your application and your objectives. For the backend, we often work with PHP/Laravel, Node.js/Express, Python/Django. For the frontend, React, Vue.js or Angular are common choices. For databases, PostgreSQL or MySQL are common choices. We can advise you on the most suitable stack for your project in Lausanne/Geneva.

The duration of a technological migration is highly variable and depends on the size and complexity of the existing applicationand the scale of technological change. This can range from a few weeks to several months. We provide a detailed estimate after a phase of analysis and analysis. quote.
