Laravel 12 loses bug-fix support on 13 August 2026

Laravel apps stuck on old versions, brought current.

Laravel 11 and 12 to 13. Filament v3 to v5. PHP runtime upgrades. Fixed price agreed up front, European working hours, and a test suite that still passes at the end.

No call required to start. Send a file, get a report back within 24 hours.

Start here

Send one file. Get a real report back.

Paste or attach your composer.json and composer.lock. I run them through an audit tool I wrote and send back a report showing exactly what is out of support, which packages actually block an upgrade, which only need a version bump, and roughly how many days the work takes.

It costs nothing and there is no obligation. Plenty of the projects I audit turn out to be fine, and I tell people so. The report is useful either way.

  1. You send two files

    No repository access, no credentials, no call. The lock file alone is enough.

  2. I audit it

    Support status, abandoned packages, real blockers versus simple bumps, and a costed estimate.

  3. You get a PDF within 24 hours

    Written so you can forward it to whoever signs off the budget. Then decide whatever you like.

Pricing

Fixed price, agreed before any work starts.

No hourly billing and no open-ended scope. If the audit shows the job is bigger than the tier you picked, you hear that before you commit, not halfway through.

How I work

The audit tool is open source. Read it before you trust it.

The report you get is generated by a tool I built and published. You can read the code, run it yourself, and check the support dates against Laravel's own release policy. Nothing in the estimate is a black box — every day in the total traces back to a named line item.

laravel-upgrade-audit

Reads composer files, checks every direct dependency against the registry, separates version bumps from genuine blockers. Zero runtime dependencies.

European working hours

Based in East Africa, UTC+3. Full overlap with Berlin, Amsterdam, London and Dubai — same-day replies, not next-day.

Half up front, half on delivery

Fixed scope written down before starting. If it turns out smaller than quoted, the price comes down.

Contact

Find out where you stand. It takes one email.

Send your composer.json and composer.lock and you will have a report within 24 hours. If your application turns out to be current and healthy, I will tell you that and you will not hear from me again.
