Their audit platform’s monolithic architecture, outdated infrastructure, and high technical debt made updates risky and slow, limiting scalability and risking client satisfaction.
Solution
Stabilizing Legacy Architecture
Toptal deployed a two-person full-stack team to resolve urgent stability issues by re-architecting the platform in PHP using the Yii2 framework, optimizing MySQL, and addressing long-standing crashes.
Enabling Cloud Scalability
The team migrated the platform from a Plesk server to AWS, implemented SOC 2-compliant security practices, modernized the frontend with Bootstrap and JavaScript, and adopted agile workflows and CI/CD.
Outcome
Platform Stability Restored
The re-architecture eliminated crashes, improved database performance, and significantly improved the system’s maintainability and responsiveness.
Cloud-ready and Compliant
With AWS infrastructure and SOC 2 practices in place, the platform now supports secure scaling, streamlined updates, and reliable client onboarding.
