PHP2Shell is out: two critical flaws in PHP, rated 9.2, made public on 21 October 2026, and they reach every release back to PHP 5. Cloudflare saw early attacks, and only PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 have fixed builds. Don't worry: we rewrite your PHP service in Go and put it live in 7 days. Learn what PHP2Shell means for your server.
Our PHP to Go migration services in USA and UK businesses are for teams whose PHP API is slow under load or costs too much to host. Go compiles to one small binary, starts in milliseconds and handles many requests at once with goroutines, so the same traffic often needs far fewer servers.
We rebuild your endpoints on Go's standard net/http package with a router such as chi or Gin, talk to PostgreSQL or MySQL through sqlc or pgx so every query is type-checked, and wrap background work in plain goroutines and channels or a queue worker. No PHP-FPM, no Apache modules, just one process to run and watch.
Techno Mantraa is an Indian web team with more than a decade of experience. We work hours that overlap the US East Coast and the UK, and we write Go that reads simply, because the next developer to open it may be yours.
Reasons to rewrite PHP in Go
Go is a plain, boring language on purpose. That is exactly why it works well for APIs, workers and services that must stay fast and stable with little care.
Lower hosting cost
A compiled Go service uses a fraction of the memory a PHP-FPM pool needs, so you can often drop server size or count without losing speed.
Many requests at once
Goroutines are cheap. Thousands of open connections, webhooks or long polls can be served by one process instead of a crowd of PHP workers.
Simple deploys
The build is a single static binary. Copy it, run it, or drop it into a tiny Docker image. There is no extension list or php.ini to keep in sync.
Parts of your app we move to Go
- REST or JSON endpoints rebuilt with net/http and chi or Gin
- SQL rewritten as typed queries with sqlc or pgx
- Schema changes managed with golang-migrate or goose
- Login, tokens and existing bcrypt password hashes carried over
- Cron scripts turned into Go workers or scheduled jobs
- Webhooks, payment and shipping API clients
- Table-driven tests with Go's built-in testing package
- Small Docker image and CI pipeline for your cloud
Go migration in 7 days
Day 1: Profile and plan
We find which PHP endpoints get the most traffic and cost the most, map their tables and agree a first release and a fixed price.
Days 2-4: Port to Go
Handlers, typed queries and business rules written in Go, with a test for each rule copied from how the PHP code behaves today.
Days 5-6: Load test
We replay real traffic against the Go build on staging, compare responses to PHP and measure latency and memory under load.
Day 7: Cut over
Your proxy sends the migrated routes to Go, we watch errors and response times, and PHP stays ready to take traffic back if needed.
PHP vs Go for your back end
How a PHP-FPM setup and a Go service differ day to day.
| PHP with FPM | Go service | |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Interpreter plus FPM worker pool | One compiled binary |
| Memory per request | A full worker for each request | A goroutine of a few kilobytes |
| Start time | Bootstraps the app on every request | Starts once and stays warm |
| Type safety | Optional type hints | Static types checked when compiling |
| Deploy | Code, extensions and server config | Copy one file or a tiny container |
| Concurrency | Extra tools for async work | Goroutines and channels built in |
Why hand your Go rewrite to us
Speed means nothing if the numbers in your reports change. We put correctness first and speed second.
Responses diffed against PHP
Before launch we send the same requests to both versions and compare every field, so totals, rounding and date formats come out exactly as before.
Fixed cost agreed after a free audit of your PHP code and traffic.
NDA signed on day one, full source and credentials handed back at the end.
Golang migration for businesses in the USA and UK
We designed this service for SaaS products, marketplaces and API businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom whose PHP hosting bill keeps climbing. We cover part of the US Eastern day and the UK working day, and reply to messages before the day is out.
Senior Go engineers are expensive to hire in the US or UK. Our offshore team gives you the same work for less, at a fixed price, under NDA, with one person accountable from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about our PHP to Go Migration service.
For most small and medium PHP APIs, 7 days from audit to launch. If your app is large, we split it: the most expensive routes move to Go within the first 7 days and the rest follow in planned phases.
Usually not. Go shines for APIs, workers and high-traffic services. A PHP site that mainly renders pages or runs WordPress is better served by a PHP 8.4 upgrade.
Yes. During a phased move both read and write the same tables, and routes switch to Go one at a time behind your proxy or load balancer.
Often, yes, because a Go process needs far less memory than a PHP worker pool. We measure it in the load test on days 5 and 6 so you see real numbers before launch.
Routes that move to Go stop running PHP, so the flaw no longer applies to them. Anything left on PHP is upgraded to a patched PHP 8.4 release during the project.
Yes. We are a team in India that keeps US Eastern and UK hours, answers the same day, signs an NDA and agrees a fixed price before work starts.
