Considerations expertise, switching to a different stack involve additional
and Potential transition costs.
Challenges • Our team well-versed in PHP but less familiar with
JavaScript/Node.js and Python. This can result in a steep
learning curve and productivity slowdown.

Hosting and Deployment:

• PHP has been around for a long time and
has very mature, widely supported hosting
environments.
• While Node.js and Python are also well-
supported, we need to ensure the skills
require to host the new stack.
Legacy Systems:
• If your application needs to interact with legacy
systems that are built with PHP, integrating a
different backend technology might introduce
complexity.
 Planning and Strategy:
• Assessment: Evaluate current system requirements,
dependencies, and functionalities.
Transition Steps • Roadmap: Create a detailed migration plan with timelines,
milestones, and resources needed.

Training and Onboarding:

• Skill Acquisition: We may need to hire new
team members or invest in training our
development team on new technologies
(Next.js, Express.js, Python).
• Documentation: Ensure comprehensive
documentation for the new stack to facilitate a
smoother transition. Incremental Migration:
• Phased Approach: Start with less critical
components and progressively migrate to the
new stack.
• Hybrid Model: Run the new stack alongside
the existing PHP system during the transition
to minimize disruption.
