Public health program — Early childhood clinical tool migrated and upgraded

The challenge

The portal, pediatric dose calculator, and PWA of a clinical tool ran on shared hosting with WordPress 7.0, Laravel 8, and Laravel 10, with about 16,150 registered users.

The solution

Everything moved to containers: WordPress 7.1 with PHP 8.5, the calculator on Laravel 13 with Livewire 4 and MariaDB 12.3 LTS, and the PWA as a dedicated portal module. We transferred 9.7 million rows and about 2.4 GB of files. The admin panel requires two-factor authentication, CSP and attempt limits are in place, and the tool can only be embedded on the official domain. The final delivery was encrypted and included SHA-256 checksums.
