Questions CakePHP buyers ask us

Before you start. Straight answers.

Should we migrate from CakePHP to a modern framework?

Not necessarily — it depends on whether CakePHP is actually limiting you. A well-maintained CakePHP 4 application runs performantly in production. Migration makes sense when the framework is genuinely blocking something you need. We give you an honest assessment before recommending a migration.

Can you upgrade our CakePHP 2 or 3 application to CakePHP 4?

Yes. CakePHP version upgrades including ORM and routing changes between major versions — done incrementally with test coverage in place to catch regressions before they reach production.

Can you add modern features to an existing CakePHP app without migrating?

Yes. REST API layers, token authentication, background job processing, and modern infrastructure can all be added to existing CakePHP applications.

Can you add AI to a CakePHP backend?

Yes. CakePHP backends call LLM APIs and integrate with Python AI services cleanly — the AI layer doesn't require rewriting the application.

CakePHP work to be done? We know it well.
