When should I migrate to Laravel?

Migrate to Laravel when your current stack is actively slowing the business down. The honest signals are: development time per feature has doubled in the last twelve months, your hosting bill keeps growing without traffic growing, security patches are skipped because the codebase is fragile, hiring developers is harder because the stack is outdated, the existing platform cannot model new business rules without workarounds, and your security or compliance team is escalating risk. If three or more of these apply, the cost of staying is already higher than the cost of migrating.
