Magento upgrades built around the way your business actually works
Good magento upgrades is not a collection of isolated development tasks. It needs to fit the commercial model, operational workflow, existing systems and the people responsible for running the platform every day.
We start by understanding the current environment, the business outcome you are trying to achieve and the constraints that matter. That creates a clearer technical plan and reduces expensive rework later.
Compatibility assessment
Identify PHP, Composer, extension, theme and custom-code constraints before committing to the upgrade path.
Custom code remediation
Update deprecated or incompatible implementation while preserving required business behaviour.
Integration validation
Confirm external systems still receive and send the right data after framework and API changes.
Testing & launch
Use a staged upgrade, regression testing and controlled deployment rather than upgrading directly in production.
What we can take responsibility for
Midoriweb can work as the primary technical partner, add specialist capacity to an internal team, or take ownership of a defined workstream. The engagement model can change as the requirement evolves.
The emphasis is on maintainable implementation, transparent communication, documentation and testing so the work can continue to be supported after launch.
- Current-state technical inventory
- Target-version compatibility review
- Dependency and extension plan
- Custom code changes
- Database and application upgrade
- Regression and integration testing
- Deployment and rollback plan
Engineering decisions that survive real-world use
Production systems behave differently from prototypes. Catalogue size, integrations, traffic patterns, background jobs, deployment processes, data quality and third-party dependencies all influence reliability.
We design around those realities from the beginning and make performance, security, observability and supportability part of the solution rather than afterthoughts.
Questions we are often asked
How do you know what will break in an upgrade?
You cannot know every issue in advance, but a structured inventory of custom code, extensions, themes, dependencies and integrations exposes most of the predictable risk.
Can an upgrade be combined with performance work?
Yes. Upgrade projects are a useful opportunity to remove obsolete code and address known technical debt, provided scope is controlled.
Should third-party extensions be updated first?
Extension compatibility is part of the upgrade plan and depends on vendor availability and the target Magento version.
How do you reduce downtime?
By rehearsing the deployment, understanding data-changing steps, preparing static content and defining rollback where practical.
