Frequently Asked Questions
Is CodeIgniter 3 unsafe to keep using?
Not automatically — the framework no longer receives official updates, which increases risk over time, but a well-maintained application can still run safely with the right precautions. We'll assess your specific case.
Should we migrate straight to CodeIgniter 4, or somewhere else?
It depends on your application's complexity and future needs — CodeIgniter 4 is a natural step, but Laravel is often the better long-term choice. We'll help you decide.
Can migration be done in stages rather than all at once?
Yes, phased migration is often the more practical and lower-risk approach, and something we regularly plan for clients.
