Implementation effort: The technical piece is only part of the work; the harder question is whether Backend: Laravel 12, PHP 8.2, Laravel Sanctum, RESTful API; Frontend: Vue 3, Vite, CoreUI, Axios, Vue Router; Database: SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL; State management: Pinia; ORM: Eloquent. can be owned, monitored, and reconciled in production.
Practical read: Best read as a - operational change with ROI upside when the pain is already measurable.
