Refactoring spaghetti code. Without starting from scratch.
God Classes with 3,000 lines, business logic in controllers, database queries in views. The problem is not missing knowledge. The problem is missing structure. Jardis gives your PHP code layers, separation, and a target architecture.
Why spaghetti code is a structure problem, not a tooling problem.
59% of PHP developers debug with var_dump. Not because better tools are missing, but because the code has no structure for tools to work with.
God Classes that do everything and separate nothing
One class for orders, validation, email dispatch, and PDF generation. 3,000 lines, 40 methods, no clear responsibility. Every change can break everything because everything is connected.
Business logic lives in the wrong layer
Validation rules in controllers, price calculations in views, SQL queries next to HTML output. When logic is everywhere, it can be properly tested and reused nowhere.
No refactoring possible because no layers exist
There is no safe entry point for a refactoring. No clear architecture, no defined interfaces, no separation of concerns. Whoever starts cleaning up pulls the entire system apart.
How Jardis turns spaghetti code into structure.
Jardis generates the target architecture and gives your existing code a migration path. Layer by layer, not all at once.
Your existing database schema as starting point
The builder imports your existing schema and generates hexagonal architecture from it. Entities, Value Objects, Repository Interfaces. The target structure emerges from what you already have, not from a blank page.
Domain, Application, Infrastructure as physical packages
No conventions that nobody follows after two weeks. The builder creates physical directories with clear dependency rules. Business logic in the domain, use cases in the application, database in the infrastructure. Controllers call use cases, not the other way around.
One use case at a time, not big bang
You do not have to migrate everything at once. Start with the most painful part: the order process, the billing logic, the user management. The builder generates the target structure for individual Bounded Contexts. The rest of your code keeps running.

Why teams with spaghetti code choose Jardis.
From chaos to structure. Without a rewrite, without downtime.
Every class has exactly one responsibility
Domain logic in the domain, persistence in the infrastructure, orchestration in the application. The builder enforces this separation at the filesystem level. God Classes become impossible.
Unit tests without database, without framework
The generated domain layer has no dependencies on framework or database. Business logic can be tested in isolation. No setup, no mocking of 15 services.
Old and new code run side by side
You migrate one use case at a time. The existing spaghetti code keeps running while new Bounded Contexts emerge next to it. No feature freeze, no rewrite.
