Why I Migrated This Website From Symfony To Laravel | Tomas Votruba
It's been exactly a week since I migrated this website from Symfony to Laravel. I had never done such a migration before and feared the pitfalls waiting for me.
The migration itself was easy and swift. It took me 2 trips on Lisbon trains, one afternoon in a cafe, and a few hours at the hotel to finish. I'll talk about the process later, and it's a fascinating set of techniques.
**You kept me asking "why", so here it is.**

Four Ways to Build Web Apps
Intro This is my opinionated list of four approaches to building websites and web applications. Publicly hosted on the internet, serving HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, etc over HTTP.
#1: Hugo Static Sites + Progressive Web Apps Static websites are boring. Vendors rarely talk about them because the margins are miniscule compared to flashy, compute-heavy services. It is seen as a table stakes offering. Though they have received more attention during the “JAM Stack” trend, my position is that they are still underappreciated and underutilized.
