Modernisation Scope

Engineered to Replace Technical Debt Safely

Every module is extracted using proven architectural patterns that maintain active business operations while systematically replacing fragile code.

Code Audit

Legacy Codebase & Architecture Audit

Static code analysis, dependency vulnerability scanning, and reverse-engineering undocumented domain logic into clean technical specifications.

Microservices & APIs

Strangler Fig Pattern Extraction

Incremental decoupling of monolithic domains behind a reverse-proxy gateway, replacing outdated services piece-by-piece with zero disruption.

Data Migration

Relational Database & Schema Modernisation

Migrating legacy SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL schemas to PostgreSQL with zero-data-loss dual-write pipelines and schema normalization.

API Integration

REST & GraphQL API Facade Layer

Wrapping legacy core systems in high-throughput, type-safe API gateways to cleanly power modern web apps, mobile clients, and partner integrations.

Modern Frontend

Frontend & User Interface Overhaul

Replacing slow, non-responsive ASP.NET, PHP, or JSP interfaces with fast, responsive Next.js App Router applications with sub-second page loads.

Cloud Re-platforming

Docker Containerisation & Cloud Migration

Packaging fragile bare-metal legacy workloads into reproducible Docker containers and deploying to AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure with auto-scaling.

Parity Testing

Shadow Traffic & Parity Verification

Replaying production read requests simultaneously against legacy and modern services to prove byte-for-byte behavioral accuracy before cutover.

Zero Downtime

Zero-Downtime Cutover & Rollback Runbooks

Blue-green traffic shifting, canary rollouts, and scripted instant fallback runbooks ensuring business continuity throughout deployment.

Staged Migration Framework

Fixed 2-Week Sprints With Continuous Verification

We avoid high-risk "big-bang" rewrites. Each sprint deploys tested, functioning capabilities to a live staging environment with measurable progress.

Sprint 01Weeks 1–2

Architecture Audit, Parity Harness & Facade

Deep inspection of legacy codebase, establishing automated regression tests, and deploying the initial API proxy facade to isolate customer-facing traffic.

Target Modern Stack

Chosen for Maintainability, Speed, and Zero Lock-In

We migrate legacy stacks to modern open standards that your existing or future in-house engineers can easily hire for and maintain.

Next.js 15 & TypeScript

Server-side rendering, sub-second route transitions, and strict end-to-end typing replacing brittle template engines.

PostgreSQL & Prisma/Drizzle

Rock-solid ACID compliance, JSONB document flexibility, and automated schema migrations replacing locked stored procedures.

Node.js & Go Microservices

Lightweight, high-concurrency event handling replacing memory-heavy monolithic application servers.

Docker & Cloud Native

Reproducible container images eliminating "works on my machine" bugs and enabling seamless AWS/Azure multi-region hosting.

Redis & BullMQ Queues

Asynchronous job processing, distributed locks, and sub-millisecond session caching for high-load workflows.

Automated CI/CD & GitHub Actions

Automated linting, unit test suites, security scans, and staging preview builds on every single pull request.
