I run Proxima Study, a bilingual (English/French) Canadian education platform built with Laravel 9, Vue 3 and MySQL/MariaDB. I’m looking for an experienced Laravel developer to set up a staging website and help me verify months of new work before anything goes live.
Scope (staging only):
= Create a staging environment, separate from the live site, on a server or subdomain I own.
= Restore a copy of the production database and files into it. Customer personal data will be removed or masked first.
= Install dependencies and build the front end (the Laravel Mix build needs attention).
= Run the database migrations (about 130) on the staging copy only, with backups before each run, and report any failures.
= Configure test-mode services: Stripe and PayPal in test mode, outgoing mail to a test address, and file storage.
= Run the existing automated test suite (80 suites, supplied) and report the results.
= Support me while I run a written staging checklist in a real browser. The checklist covers payments, profile management, permissions, media uploads, English/French translations, a quotation-request form and email delivery.
Report every defect clearly. Fix only the defects I approve in writing.
Out of scope:
- No redesign, no new features and no changes to approved designs.
- No access to or changes on the live site or live database.
- No deployment to production. That is a separate, later job.
Required:
= Strong Laravel (9) and PHP 8.x experience, plus MySQL migrations.
= Linux server administration and Git workflow.
= Vue 3 and Laravel Mix/Webpack build troubleshooting.
= Stripe and PayPal integration experience.
= Clear written English, with regular status updates.
Working terms:
= All hosting, domain and the Git repository are in accounts I own. You will be added as a collaborator.
= All work goes through Git branches and is reviewed by me before it is merged.
= You must not share, copy or keep any project code or data after the job.
= You must sign a confidentiality agreement if asked.
To apply, please include:
= Two or three similar projects you have done (Laravel staging or deployment work).
= How you would approach a Mix build that fails and a migration that fails.
Budget: CAD$400
Duration: asap
