FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Kohana Development
Is Kohana still up-to-date and secure for modern web applications?
Yes – with the right team.
ChatGPT said:
Kohana is a lightweight, high-performance PHP framework. Although it is no longer actively developed, it remains secure, maintainable, and scalable with professional support. For existing applications, it provides a stable and efficient foundation that can be operated long-term.
However, if you want to start a completely new project, a modern framework like Laravel or Symfony is often the better choice, depending on the requirements. We can also provide expert advice on this.
How does a typical project with Kohana Experts proceed?
The process is clearly structured:
- Free initial consultation for requirement analysis
- Proposal & Timeline
- Technical Planning & Architecture
- Development in Sprints (Including feedback phases)
- Go-live & Maintenance
We work agile, transparent, and goal-oriented.
Why shouldn't we just rebuild our Kohana system from scratch?
Although modern frameworks like Laravel or Symfony are often more suitable for new projects, Kohana offers many advantages in existing systems:
- Slim & performant – no unnecessary overhead.
- Flexible – no rigid conventions.
- Tailored – perfectly customizable to existing business logic.
- Maintenance-friendly – short paths for adjustments and deployment.
Especially for mature applications, Kohana can remain a stable, cost-effective, and long-term maintainable foundation.
Can existing projects with Kohana be taken over or extended?
Yes. We specialize in taking over, maintaining, and extending existing Kohana projects – including code review, security auditing, and architecture consulting.
Do you also provide hosting, maintenance, and monitoring?
Yes – upon request, we can take over the full technical operation of your project.
Our services are flexible and tailored to the needs of your application:
- Hosting on our own root server or management of your existing infrastructure (root or managed servers)
- Complete stack setupe.g. control panels (e.g. Froxlor, Plesk), Docker, mail servers, DNS & more
- Custom backup solutionse.g. with Borg
- Regular system and security updates
- Monitoring with Sentry, UptimeRobot or Grafana
This ensures your system runs stable, secure, and reliable – with minimal effort from your side.
Existing system. New possibilities!
We bring your Kohana project up to date – without a complete restart, but with full future potential.
