One of these is a warning. Several at once means the cost of waiting is already higher than the cost of acting.
Changes that used to take days now take weeks, mostly spent on testing and fixing regressions.
Your framework, runtime or operating system is past its support window.
The app looks dated, feels slow and loses customers to newer competitors.
New partners, payment providers or mobile apps can't connect without custom workarounds.
Old servers and licenses cost more each year, and scaling means buying bigger machines.
Mobile apps built on old SDKs face store requirements they can't meet without serious work.
Code, architecture, infrastructure and data reviewed, with a prioritized list of risks and a modernization roadmap.
Tests around critical flows, cleaner modules and fixes for the bugs that hurt users most.
Moving to supported versions of your languages, frameworks and libraries without breaking production.
New modules replace old ones one at a time behind the same interface, so users never face a hard cut-over.
Moving from hand-managed servers to AWS with Docker, automated deploys and monitoring.
Cleaning, mapping and moving data to a new schema or database, with checks before and after the switch.
Rebuilding the architecture of aging iOS and Android apps and bringing the design up to date.
Redesigning dated screens and flows as part of the modernization, not as a separate project.
Not every part of a legacy system needs the same treatment. We recommend a path per module, based on its value and risk.
For code that works but is hard to change
Tests first, then cleaner structure
No change for users
Lowest risk, quickest payoff
New services built next to the old system
Traffic moved over feature by feature
Old code retired when nothing uses it
Business keeps running throughout
Applications containerized with Docker
Infrastructure on AWS, defined as code
Automated builds and deploys
Monitoring from day one
Only when the old code can't be saved
Scope based on how the system is really used
Data migration planned up front
Parallel run before switching over
Your core product runs on an aging codebase, and the roadmap is slowing down because of it.
A system built years ago still runs operations, but nobody is left who fully understands it.
The first version got you customers. Now its shortcuts block growth and fundraising due diligence.
You took over a business or a product and need a clear, honest view of what the software can and can't do.
An assessment and a clear roadmap.
Stabilize the system before anything else.
Refactor the parts that slow the team down.
Move to modern cloud infrastructure.
New design on a cleaner foundation.
A planned rebuild with a safe switch-over.
We review the code, infrastructure, data and integrations, and talk to the people who use and support the system.
You get a prioritized plan: what to refactor, replace, migrate or leave alone, and in which order.
Automated tests, monitoring and a deploy pipeline go in first, so every later change is measurable and reversible.
We modernize one module or flow at a time and release it to production, keeping the old and new parts in sync.
Data is migrated and checked, traffic moves to the new parts and old code and servers are switched off.
Documentation and knowledge transfer to your team, or we stay on for maintenance and new features.
A 2-week fixed-price Discovery Sprint
Fixed price. Modernization quoted after it.
For systems you don't fully understand yet, or when you need a plan to present to stakeholders.
Review of code, infrastructure and data
List of risks ranked by impact
Modernization path for each module
Phased roadmap and estimate
Yours to keep, whoever does the work
Engineers, QA and a PM on your system
Monthly, team-based.
For teams that already know what needs to change and want steady progress alongside daily support.
Engineers who take over the codebase
Stabilization and modernization in parallel
Releases to production every sprint
Progress and risk reports
Knowledge transfer to your team
We regularly take over code that other teams left behind. Modernizing it calmly, without putting the business at risk, is a large part of what we do.
Rescuing troubled codebases and apps whose original teams are gone.
Back end, front end, iOS and Android modernized together.
98% of our projects are delivered on time.
We can usually start in about two weeks.
React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes.
We rebuild only what can't be saved, and say so plainly.
Changes go out in small releases, not one risky weekend.
Tests and monitoring come before big changes.
Average partnership with SMBs and product companies is 5+ years.
Our engineers in Europe overlap with part of the US working day.
