I finally moved a step away from WordPress and now I am using Laravel as the backend for this blog. WordPress ecosystem provided all the plugins and systems that I needed for a blog to run, but over the years I have been deeply engaged with the Laravel ecosystem and I realized how cumbersome it is to change the backend code in a WordPress codebase. I always wanted something very simple in the backend to make quick design or logic changes for the blog, and Laravel provides exactly that.
Since now, we are using a single database for our both the application Laravel and WordPress.
Apart from moving from WordPress to Laravel, I also moved the frontend framework from Bootstrap to Laravel
