Modernize PHP backends with Node.js and NestJS.
Structured, typed service backends for APIs, integrations and asynchronous work — migrated module by module, while your current system keeps serving traffic.
Six kinds of backend work we take on.
API modernization
Versioned REST or GraphQL contracts replacing endpoints scattered across PHP files.
NestJS architecture
Modules, providers and dependency injection for a codebase that scales with the team.
Integrations
Payment, ERP, CRM and messaging integrations isolated behind clear adapters.
Event-driven systems
Domain events where they reduce coupling — not as a default for everything.
Background processing
Cron scripts become observable queue workers with retries.
Enterprise backend concerns
Auth, audit logging, configuration and environments designed in, not bolted on.
Route by route, not big-bang.
A routing layer sends each request to legacy PHP or the new service. Modules move one at a time, each verified before the next. Phase plans are set in the Proposal.
Routing layer in front of legacy PHP. Nothing has moved yet; behavior is unchanged.
Three documents, in order.
No build starts from a sales call. Each step produces its own document and its own decision.

Common questions.
Does the current system have to stop during the migration?[+]
No. A routing layer sends each request to legacy PHP or to the new service, so routes that have not moved keep serving traffic. Which modules move, and in what order, is set in the Proposal.
Is the PHP code translated into TypeScript?[+]
No. Behavior is re-implemented by engineers in idiomatic NestJS. Automated translation is not part of the service.
What if Node.js isn’t the right fit?[+]
The Report will say so. Talya Smart also modernizes PHP applications with Python and Django (php2python.org) and with Next.js (php2next.com), and recommends based on findings.
What does your PHP backend do at 2am?
Jobs, integrations, the endpoints nobody wants to touch — tell us about them. We’ll explain how an Assessment would be scoped.
