What We Build with CakePHP

Full-stack web applications, RESTful APIs, and enterprise systems โ€” all convention-driven, secure, and maintainable.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Enterprise Web Apps

CRM, ERP, inventory management, and multi-tenant SaaS platforms built on CakePHP's rock-solid MVC architecture.

๐Ÿ”Œ

RESTful & GraphQL APIs

Typed, documented API backends with CakePHP's request handling, content negotiation, and JSON/XML serialization.

๐Ÿ›’

E-Commerce Platforms

Custom cart logic, payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay), product catalogs, and order management.

๐Ÿ”

Auth & ACL Systems

Role-based access control, OAuth 2.0, JWT authentication, and two-factor systems using CakePHP's built-in security layer.

๐Ÿ”„

Legacy Modernization

Migrate aging PHP apps to CakePHP 4/5 with zero downtime โ€” database migrations, refactoring, and test coverage.

๐Ÿงฉ

Plugin Development

Custom CakePHP plugins for authentication, notifications, reporting, file management, and third-party integrations.

Why CakePHP for Your Project

CakePHP's conventions eliminate boilerplate and let developers focus on business logic from day one.

โšก

Convention Over Configuration

CakePHP's naming conventions and scaffolding mean your developer spends time building features, not configuring boilerplate. 2ร— faster to MVP than rolling custom MVC from scratch.

๐Ÿ”’

Security Built-In

CSRF protection, SQL injection prevention, XSS filtering, input validation, and secure password hashing are all built into the framework core โ€” not an afterthought.

๐Ÿ“Š

Powerful ORM

CakePHP's ORM supports associations, eager loading, complex queries, and database migrations. Change your schema without writing raw SQL or breaking existing code.

๐Ÿงช

Test-First Architecture

Built-in PHPUnit integration with test fixtures, integration testing, and console test runners. Deliver with confidence โ€” automated coverage from day one.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Plugin Ecosystem

Hundreds of battle-tested plugins via Packagist. Authentication, queuing, search, file management, and API toolkits โ€” install and configure in minutes.

๐Ÿš€

Long-Term Maintainability

CakePHP has been actively maintained since 2005 with a clear upgrade path. Your codebase ages gracefully and developers onboard quickly thanks to shared conventions.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before hiring a CakePHP developer from CodiFly.

Which version of CakePHP do your developers use?+
Our team works with CakePHP 4.x and 5.x primarily, though we also support legacy CakePHP 2 and 3 projects for maintenance and upgrades. We follow the official migration guides and test rigorously before any version bump.
Can you migrate our old PHP app to CakePHP?+
Yes. We've migrated native PHP apps, CodeIgniter 2/3, older CakePHP versions, and even some Laravel apps to CakePHP. We begin with an audit, create a migration roadmap, then execute in parallel with your live system to ensure zero downtime.
How do you handle testing in CakePHP projects?+
We write unit tests, integration tests, and controller tests using PHPUnit and CakePHP's built-in test suite. Coverage targets are agreed upfront. We also set up CI pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI) to run tests on every push.
Do you also handle deployment and server configuration?+
Yes. We deploy to AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, or cPanel servers. Setup includes Nginx/Apache config, PHP-FPM tuning, SSL certificates, database backups, and CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments on push to main.
How do I know the code quality will be maintained?+
Every sprint includes mandatory code reviews. We follow PSR-12 coding standards, use PHPStan for static analysis, and enforce consistent conventions throughout. You receive a clean, well-commented codebase with full documentation.
How quickly can a developer start?+
Typically within 48 hours of signing. We'll schedule a requirements call, match you with the right developer, and share an onboarding kit the same day. Sprint planning starts in week one.
