It took our team 5 man-years (1 year of time) to upgrade from Laravel 4 to 5...

That's incorrect. PHP has concurrency included.

I did something similar 20 years ago. Setup 4 Nokia phones with 4 SIM cards for the 4 different networks in Germany.

It was possible to connect them via a serial cable to a linux machine and receive/send SMS.

Used that to offer a horse betting service: people could bet on horses via complex SMS syntax. It worked, but never made enough money :)
