Legacy Modernization

Move off legacy .NET and Java.
Without stopping the business.

We migrate monolithic applications to cloud-native platforms incrementally, so revenue keeps flowing while the architecture changes underneath.

Rewrites fail because they stop the business for a year and ship nothing in between. Modernization done right ships every few weeks and never asks customers to wait.

What we modernize

Applications that still run the company but can no longer keep up with it.

From one deployable to independently scalable services.

.NET Framework applications

WebForms, WCF and .NET Framework 4.x systems moved to modern .NET on containers, with the same business rules and a cleaner boundary around them.

Java EE and Spring monoliths

Application-server deployments broken into services along real domain lines, deployed independently and observed end to end.

On-premises databases and batch jobs

Overnight batches and shared databases replaced with managed cloud data stores and event-driven processing, migrated table by table.

Undocumented integrations

File drops, stored procedures and point-to-point connections mapped, contract-tested and replaced with APIs your team can own.

How it works

Strangler pattern, not big bang

New capabilities grow around the legacy system and take over one path at a time. The old system is only switched off when nothing depends on it.

  1. Audit and stress test

    We map every single point of failure, hidden dependency and bottleneck in the current system, then simulate load on the paths that actually carry revenue.

    Typically 2 to 3 weeks. Output: migration map and risk register.

  2. Carve out and migrate

    Domains are extracted in order of value and risk. Each slice goes live behind a routing layer, runs in parallel with the legacy path, and is verified against production traffic before cutover.

    Delivered in increments. Every increment is reversible.

  3. Harden and hand over

    Blue/green rollouts, real-time alerting, automated recovery and documentation written for your engineers. When we leave, your team runs the platform without us.

    Includes CI/CD, observability and security baselines from day one.

Built for regulated industries

Modernization looks different when auditors, patients or harvest seasons are involved.

Banking, lending and fintech

Core ledgers and payment flows cannot lose a single transaction during migration. We use transactional outboxes, idempotent handlers and dual-run reconciliation so every record is accounted for on both sides before cutover.

  • Zero-downtime cutover for payment and settlement paths
  • Audit trails preserved across old and new systems
  • Segregation of duties and encryption built into the platform

Proven on a bank's core product

At Commonwealth Bank, our founder led the modernization of the Buy Now Pay Later platform, moving it to a cloud-native, serverless architecture on AWS using Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design. The product kept serving customers throughout.

Questions engineering leaders ask first

Will there be downtime?

No planned downtime. Each migrated slice runs in parallel with the legacy path and is switched over with blue/green routing. If anything looks wrong, traffic goes back to the old path in seconds.

Do we need to freeze feature development?

No. The strangler approach exists precisely so your team keeps shipping. We coordinate on the boundaries being extracted and leave the rest of the roadmap untouched.

How long does a modernization take?

The audit takes two to three weeks and produces a phased plan with an estimate per phase. Most engagements deliver the first slice to production within the first two months and continue in increments from there.

What happens to our data?

Data is migrated in controlled batches with reconciliation on both sides. Nothing is deleted from the source until the new store has been validated under production load, and the whole history remains auditable.

Can our own engineers run the platform afterwards?

That is the goal. Pipelines, runbooks and architecture decisions are documented for your team, and we pair with them during the engagement so the knowledge stays in-house.
