SERVICE 08 / 12

Modernize the system without stopping it.

We replace legacy code piece by piece, behind the same interfaces, so the business keeps running while the platform changes underneath.

01 / THE PROBLEM

The system that runs the business is the one nobody wants to touch.

<Old PHP or Java versions with no tests and no documentation.
<Every change takes weeks and breaks something unrelated.
<The people who wrote it have left.
02 / HOW WE SOLVE IT
01

Map before we move

Characterization tests, dependency maps and a list of what really runs in production.

02

Put a seam in front

A routing layer lets old and new code serve traffic side by side.

03

Replace module by module

Each module is rewritten, tested against the old behaviour and switched over.

04

Retire the old code

When no traffic reaches a legacy module, it is deleted.
