Laravel to Next.js Migration · St Albans
Laravel to Next.js Migration in St Albans
Moving St Albans applications from Laravel to Next.js, where one application becomes two things you have to keep in agreement. Server-rendered views become a front end talking to an API, so you acquire a contract between them, two deployments to coordinate and an authentication model that no longer relies on a session cookie.
Why this comes up
The problem
The plan replaces Blade templates with React and has not addressed how authentication will work.
What you get
What we deliver
- The API contract defined explicitly rather than emerging from the front end
- Authentication redesigned, since session cookies do not transfer directly
- Rendering strategy decided per route against what each page actually needs
- Deployment coordinated, because two applications now have to release together
- URLs preserved, as changing them costs search traffic for no benefit
- The Laravel side kept where it is genuinely better, rather than removed on principle

Laravel to Next.js Migration in St Albans — common questions
- Why is authentication the hard part?
- Because Laravel's sessions assume the server renders the page. Splitting the front end means deciding between cookie-based authentication across origins and token handling in the browser, and each carries security considerations that a monolithic application avoided entirely.
- Does Laravel go away?
- Often it should not. Keeping it as the API and moving only the presentation layer is a legitimate and common outcome, and it preserves the parts — queues, scheduled jobs, mature libraries — that Laravel handles well and would need rebuilding otherwise.
- What is the operational cost?
- Two things to deploy instead of one. Releases now need coordinating so the front end never expects an API that has not shipped, which is manageable with discipline but is a genuine addition to how the team works day to day.
- Is this migration usually worth it?
- Where the interface is genuinely interactive and the team is stronger in React, frequently yes. Where the application is largely forms and tables served quickly by the server, the honest answer is that you may be adding a distributed system to solve a problem you do not have.
- Do you work with businesses across Hertfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including St Albans and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Albans businesses do you usually work with?
- Professional services and consultancy systems for small firms serving London clients from a Hertfordshire base. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Financial Services, Media, Retail and Construction.
- Do you cover the areas around St Albans?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including London, Milton Keynes, Cambridge. St Albans is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hertfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
