Launching a web application is just the beginning. Without proper maintenance, even the best application will degrade over time, accumulate security issues, and become obsolete.
Types of Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance
Bug fixes and errors that appear in production. There will always be edge cases not detected in testing.
Preventive Maintenance
- Framework security updates
- Dependency updates
- Proactive monitoring
- Backups and restoration tests
Evolutionary Maintenance
Improvements and new features as the business evolves. Your application must grow with you.
Adaptive Maintenance
Adaptation to external changes: new PHP versions, third-party API changes, legal requirements (GDPR).
How Much Does Maintenance Cost?
As a general rule, annual maintenance represents between 15% and 25% of the initial development cost. This cost includes:
- Technical support hours
- Security updates
- Minor improvements
- Monitoring
Risks of Not Maintaining
- Security vulnerabilities: Breaches exposing customer data
- Performance degradation: Increasingly slow
- Incompatibilities: Integrations that stop working
- Technical debt: Every change is more expensive
- Service interruption: Outages affecting business
