Laravel applications can be manually upgraded by following the upgrade guide ([ Ссылка ]) provided in the Laravel documentation.
Alternatively, you can use a service like Laravel Shift ([ Ссылка ]) which will automate a lot of the upgrade process. If you’re making a single version jump (e.g. v8 → v9) the Shift service costs ~$20 and the time it saves can definitely be worth the cost.
That being said, it’s important to understand that while Shift will automate a lot of the upgrade process, there’s still manual work that needs to happen to make sure your application is working smoothly once the upgrade is complete.
In this video, I show the upgrade process from start to finish and cover a lot of the common things you’ll need to address after doing an upgrade with Shift.
