Our project currently runs on PHP 7.4 and uses server-side page rendering in the Yii 2 framework. We are using a dedicated server for the project and want to migrate to the Digital Ocean App Platform.

Tasks:

- Upgrade code from PHP 7.3 to 8.4
- Remove server-side page rendering, create an API module and use any popular front-end UI framework (admin panel) to replace all interfaces that are currently used in server-side page rendering.
- Improve and refactor the code so that the api and bot modules work correctly after migrating the code from the server to the Digital Ocean App Platform.
