N+1 queries at scale
Eloquent's convenience hides catastrophic query counts as data grows. We audit with Debugbar and Telescope, enforce eager loading rules in CI and add pagination where missing.
PHP 8.3 Horizon Octane SOC 2-ready
Laravel Development Services for Production SaaS and FinTech Backends
Laravel underpins thirty-plus production systems we have delivered — Loan Conveyor's high-throughput lending decision engine, AutoFinance's dealer financing queue, Dragon Token's crypto trading platform. We run Laravel in Kubernetes with Horizon queues, idempotent payment processing and audit logs that satisfy lender-grade scrutiny.
We deliver Laravel engineering for four buyer profiles: fintech teams building lending decision engines, payment platforms and crypto exchanges; SaaS operators running multi-tenant portals with Horizon queues and Octane; marketplace and e-commerce teams integrating Laravel with 1C, SAP and ERP backends; and regulated industries — healthtech, legaltech, property — where audit trails, idempotent processing and data residency are delivery requirements. Laravel is the most-shipped stack in our portfolio across thirty-plus live systems.
Challenges
Industry challenges we solve
Queue back-pressure
Horizon workers choke under burst load and retry storms. We size worker pools per queue, implement exponential backoff and monitor depth and failure rates in Grafana.
Multi-tenant isolation leaks
Row-level scoping with a forgotten global scope leaks data between tenants. We enforce isolation via dedicated database strategies and write cross-tenant canary tests.
Long-running job timeouts
PDF generation, report aggregation and third-party API calls time out under default configurations. We move them to dedicated queues with appropriate memory limits and partial-result caching.
Legacy Laravel 5–8 upgrades
Outdated PHP versions are a CVE surface and block modern library adoption. We migrate version by version with automated test tracking and zero production downtime.
Audit trail completeness
Fintech and legaltech regulators require tamper-evident change history. We implement event sourcing or append-only audit log tables for every regulated entity.
Solutions
Solutions we build
FinTech decision engines
Loan origination, credit scoring, KYC pipeline and regulatory reporting with idempotent processing and lender-grade audit trails.

FAQ
Laravel FAQ
What Laravel version do you use?
Laravel 11 on PHP 8.3 for all new projects. We also maintain and upgrade legacy Laravel 5, 6, 7 and 8 applications — typically migrating them to 10 or 11 over four to eight weeks with automated test coverage tracking each step.
How do you handle queue back-pressure in Horizon?
We set per-queue worker pools with backoff strategies, configure memory and timeout limits, and monitor queue depth and failed-job rates in Grafana. Critical payment queues use idempotent processing with a deduplication table to prevent double-execution on retry.
How do you approach multi-tenant SaaS on Laravel?
We use database-per-tenant (Tenancy for Laravel) for strong isolation, single-database with row-level scoping for high tenant counts, or hybrid schemas for mid-range cases. The choice depends on your data residency requirements and tenant count growth projections.
Can Laravel handle PCI DSS compliant payment flows?
Yes. We design tokenized card flows to keep cardholder data out of Laravel's application layer, implement idempotent payment commands with full audit logs, and partner with QSAs on scope definition.
How do you test Laravel applications?
Pest for unit and feature tests, database transactions for fast isolation, factory states for fixture data. API contracts are tested against OpenAPI specs. We target 80%+ line coverage on business-critical paths and use mutation testing for critical models.
Laravel Octane — when is it worth it?
Octane with Swoole or FrankenPHP eliminates bootstrap overhead on every request — worth it when you have high concurrency API endpoints. Not worth it for most CRUD-heavy admin applications where the bottleneck is the database, not PHP bootstrap.
Can you integrate Laravel with third-party CRMs and ERPs?
Yes. We have production integrations with Bitrix24, SAP, 1C, Salesforce and HubSpot — typically through event-driven queue listeners with retry, idempotency keys and dead-letter logging.
