I have an old (kinda legacy) OctoberCMS project which is using Laravel 5.5 version (it's already used by a couple of customers, and they are happy with it). I want to migrate it to pure Laravel 8 app step by step.
After I did some research, I end up with 2 options:
- Start it from scratch, and migrate some reusable components from OctoberCMS (which will take much time and risk).
- Create a new Laravel app and migrate the legacy features/modules one by one, and deploy them live, till all features are migrated.
So, did anyone face this challenge before? so he can provide me with some advice/recommendations?
Here are some resources I went through:
