Re-Launch Legacy PHP Platform

Job ID: 40145227

Budget: ₹2,000 – ₹4,500 INR

I have a five-year-old PHP-based web application that once served around 300 paying customers and had partnerships with firms like Qualcomm. The application is now static but is online; I want the full system running again so I can measure current market interest.

You will receive the complete source code and its original MySQL database dump. The immediate goal is straightforward: review the codebase, resolve anything that prevents a clean build, prepare the list of third party APIs needed, and switch it to production with minimum downtime. No new features are required today; I simply need the existing functionality working end-to-end.

Key checkpoints:
• The built-in router integration (it handles client device routing within the app) has to be verified before go-live.
• User management must be functional.

A team physically present in Hyderabad is essential because I prefer on-site meetings for initial hand-off and occasional audits—quality and integrity are non-negotiable. If this relaunch proceeds smoothly I will consider retaining the same team for ongoing enhancements, security updates, and broader IT services.

Please outline how quickly you can:
1. Audit the code and database.
2. Deploy to a staging environment, run smoke tests, and fix critical blockers.
3. Move to production and monitor the first 72 hours.

Mention any relevant experience with legacy PHP projects, MySQL migrations, and rapid production rollouts when you respond.

We will also need you to share a signed NDA that we will provide.
