Laravel
We build SaaS platforms based on Laravel
The Problem
Build complex applications need a well defined practice
Business analysis
We don’t know how to translate our business needs into a functional application.
Data modeling
Our data is inconsistent, duplicated, or hard to query efficiently.
Workflows
Our operations are manual, fragmented, or dependent on too many tools.
UI Design
Our internal tools are confusing, slow, or not user-friendly.
Operation
We don’t have the infrastructure or expertise to deploy and scale reliably.
Manage changes
We can’t track what’s happening, or safely update features without breaking things.
Our Services
We analyze the business with you, write requirements, build and operate. So you can focus on business instead of managing IT
Business first
Our strength lies not only in our deep Laravel expertise, but in the structured, transparent, and collaborative way we deliver value.
From backend systems and internal tools to SaaS platforms and serverless microservices, Laravel gives us the flexibility to build fast and evolve cleanly.
Our Process: From Clarity to CodeWe believe that the quality of execution starts with the quality of understanding. That’s why every project begins with our Architecture and Project Management team, who take time to analyze your business context, workflows, and challenges—beyond just requirements.
Together, we define a tangible, achievable outcome—your “First Goal”, which could be delivered either within a first sprint (2 weeks) or within a first epic (2 months, made of 4 sprints). This goal becomes our shared commitment, and all design and development work aligns to it.
Ops
Cloud-Native Infrastructure, Scalable by DesignAt Appfront, our Operations team takes care of provisioning and managing the infrastructure needed to run your Laravel application—securely, reliably, and with future growth in mind.
We start small and smart. Your infrastructure is lightweight at launch, minimizing costs and complexity, but it's built to scale effortlessly as your business and usage grow. We're fully cloud-native, offering deployment on Laravel Cloud, Laravel Forge, or Laravel Vapor, depending on the level of abstraction, automation, and customization you need.Your application can live in your own cloud environment or within our AWS tenant, fully monitored and managed by our Ops team.
Project Management
Once we’ve agreed on the goal, we break down the work into GitHub issues, published on a shared project board where you and your team can track progress, give feedback, and suggest changes at any time.
Every task has clear ownership, scope, and technical acceptance criteria. Nothing is hidden—our entire process is transparent and accessible.Iterative Development with You in the Loop as soon as the first issues are defined and approved, our team starts building. We use a step-by-step, iterative approach, allowing you to review progress frequently and steer the project with us. Whether it's a weekly sprint review, a mid-week check-in, or a quick async update, you're always in control. We focus on shipping small, valuable increments—and doing it right. Our code is thoroughly tested, versioned, and deployed through pipelines you can inspect and audit. We maintain a clean separation of responsibilities in our architecture and are obsessive about maintainability, so your software remains robust as it grows.
DevOps
We use MongoDB Atlas as our default database for its flexibility, performance, and native cloud features, especially for document-based or analytical use cases. However, we're equally comfortable using MySQL or PostgreSQL where relational modeling is preferred.
We ensure proper CI/CD pipelines, automatic scaling policies, secure networking, and infrastructure as code—all aligned with Laravel’s best practices.
For observability, we monitor infrastructure health through cloud-native tools (such as AWS CloudWatch, Forge/Vapor metrics, and custom alerts) and monitor application performance, errors, and usage with Sentry, enabling proactive maintenance and rapid issue resolution.Senior Development Team, Built Around Best Practices.
Outcomes
More Than Developers: Strategic ThinkersWhat makes Appfront different is that we think like partners, not just coders. We understand product, business, and technical trade-offs. We help you prioritize features, manage scope, and make informed decisions about performance, security, and usability. We are a small team by design—agile, responsive, and deeply experienced. You won’t find layers of bureaucracy or vague promises. Instead, you’ll work with engineers and architects who own what they build and care deeply about outcomes.
Dev Practice
Our Development team is composed exclusively of senior engineers with strong Laravel experience and a clear understanding of software design principles. We don’t just build features—we build software designed to last.
We follow best practices such as:
Service-oriented architecture for modular, reusable components
Queue management and job prioritization for background and async processing
API versioning and request validation to ensure interface stability
Custom Artisan commands for maintainability and dev ops automation
To enhance productivity and user experience in complex back-office applications, we extend Laravel with Laravel Backpack, allowing rapid creation of robust, intuitive admin interfaces.
Data and changes
Appfront's approach to monitoring business performance is rooted in a deep understanding of data analysis and business intelligence (BI). The company has honed its ability to streamline data processing from various sources to insightful dashboards, enabling business managers to make well-informed decisions in real-time. The core of this strategy is the seamless flow of data, ensuring that insights are always up-to-date and readily available to drive operational effectiveness.A key pillar of this approach is the meticulous management of changes within business applications. Appfront is committed to optimizing user experience across its platforms, always ensuring that users can quickly adapt to new features and workflows. This continuous improvement mindset is built on the belief that enhancing the user experience is not just about interface design, but also about making processes faster and more intuitive. Whether it's simplifying complex workflows or providing clear, actionable insights through the BI dashboards, Appfront aims to deliver the best possible experience to its users.Additionally, Appfront's help desk plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations by providing expert support whenever issues arise. The help desk team is not just reactive but proactive, helping users resolve problems swiftly and keeping business processes moving without disruptions. With this combination of data expertise, user-centered design, and responsive support, Appfront delivers a comprehensive business monitoring strategy that empowers managers, boosts efficiency, and enhances the overall user experience.
DevOps Process
We manage development using a streamlined, transparent workflow, ensuring clear visibility at every stage. Each issue moves through the following lifecycle:
Ready for Development – Business logic clarified and defined
In Progress – Actively being implemented by a developer
Review – Undergoing peer code review, automated tests
Review Approved – Cleared for final user testing
Testing – In User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Done – Passed UAT and ready to deploy
We follow a continuous delivery mindset: as soon as an issue is marked Done, it's deployed to production—often multiple times per day. This rapid deployment cycle keeps the feedback loop tight and reduces the time from idea to delivery.Test-First Development Culture
We are obsessed with testing—not just as a safety net, but as a development philosophy. Our approach is:“Write tests first, then write the code.”This test-driven development (TDD) approach allows us to define the expected behavior upfront, avoid regressions, and support ongoing refactoring.
We invest in unit tests, feature tests, and integration tests, ensuring that every piece of code behaves as expected in isolation and as part of the system.
