Not because PHP is bad, but because a system built over years without clear architecture eventually becomes its own worst enemy. So, this article isn’t a “Go is better than PHP” or “PHP is dead” rant. Nope. This is a field notes from my experience migrating a backend system from PHP (CodeIgniter 3 and Laravel) to Go, based on an actual project I worked on.
