We are LAMPDev, a team of senior PHP developers based in Ukraine. Since 2010 we have built, modernised and maintained web applications for startups and established businesses in the US, Europe and Australia. You focus on your business; we take care of the code.

Web applications, APIs and back ends in modern PHP 8: typed, tested, PSR-compliant and built on proven Composer packages instead of reinvented wheels. With a framework or without one, including codebases that never followed any.
Our frameworks of choice for new projects. We follow each framework's conventions, so any experienced developer can maintain the code after us. We also work with Slim, Yii, Phalcon and other PHP frameworks.
Upgrading PHP 5 and 7 applications to supported PHP 8 releases, replacing abandoned libraries, and adding tests and CI/CD to code that has grown for a decade, without stopping the business while we do it.
Most of our clients run on Amazon Web Services. We set up and maintain EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, SQS and SES, autoscaling, Docker-based environments and deployment pipelines.
When a site slows down under load, we find out why: schema design, query and index optimisation, caching, full-text search with Elasticsearch, and monitoring with New Relic. MySQL first, PostgreSQL and NoSQL stores when the project calls for them.
Payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, NMI, eWAY, 3-D Secure), shipping (USPS, FedEx), maps and geocoding, marketing automation (Oracle Eloqua), video platforms and many other third-party APIs, plus the REST APIs behind your own mobile apps.
Single-page front ends in Vue.js, and Android and iOS apps together with the back ends they talk to, so one team owns the whole product.
Long-term care for applications that are already live: security and dependency updates, server and PHP upgrades, monitoring, and fixes when something breaks.
Clients often ask whether we know a particular library or framework. Usually we do. When we don't, we read the documentation and become productive quickly: years of PHP experience transfer well. That ability to pick up something new is what we call qualification.
We prefer stable relationships to fast growth. Our developers stay with us for five years on average, usually longer than a project's development phase. And we never disappear just before your launch.
According to our clients, our hourly rates are typically 25–50% lower than those of comparable teams in Eastern Europe. Everyone on the team works on client projects, so you never pay for engineers sitting on the bench.
index.php with a hundred switch casesPay-per-view streaming platform
A premium streaming platform for first-run content: theatrical films, live events, concerts, musicals and sports, delivered straight to viewers' homes. Instead of a subscription, users pay only for what they watch.
The platform also includes Android and iOS apps.
Curated marketplace
A curated marketplace and private shopping club for unique, design-led and personalised products.
Traffic grew to more than 150,000 visitors a month while we worked on it. The site passed PCI DSS compliance and accepts payments through PayPal. During peak seasonal sales, we made it several times faster.
Real-time auction platform
A real-time descending-price auction: the price keeps dropping, and the first user to bid wins the item.
Live bidding runs on Node.js and Socket.IO, with phpDaemon answering the frequent AJAX requests. Behind an nginx load balancer with reverse-proxy caching sit several application servers and a dedicated database server.
Ad intelligence SaaS
A web application for tracking and analysing native and paid content advertising.
Users explore large ad datasets with complex filters and relevance-ranked search, visualise trends, and get statistical analysis and reports.
A two-container setup for New Relic APM with PHP-FPM: the agent inside the PHP image, the daemon in its own container, and the licence key kept out of the image.
How to add Doctrine ORM and its EntityManager to a custom PHP project, including the console tools, with Doctrine ORM 3 and PHP 8 attributes.
A day is not always 86,400 seconds long. Here is the daylight saving time bug this causes, and the correct way to iterate over dates in PHP.
