Scaling Legacy PHP: Refactoring the Heart of the System Without Rewriting
Vijay Panwar
Many organizations have mission-critical PHP systems that are decades old and built on monolithic architecture. In this talk we’ll explore pragmatic ways to refactor the core stored-procedures, message queues (SQS), backlog handling and data flows without doing a full rewrite. We’ll walk through actual patterns for queue purging, backlog mitigation, redesign of key logic (e.g., an flowOfData stored proc), and strategies for deploying changes with minimal downtime. Attendees will leave with an actionable roadmap to modernize legacy systems while keeping them live.
