Platforms

Modernization legacy platforms without stopping the business

Strangler-fig legacy migrations, resilient distributed platforms, and cloud infrastructure.

What keeps old platforms stuck in place.

  • Legacy systems that block the roadmap

    Ageing code and undocumented behaviour make every feature slow and risky, while the people who understood the system have moved on.

  • A rewrite that cannot be allowed to fail

    A big-bang replacement carries unacceptable risk for a platform the business depends on every day.

  • Infrastructure that is fragile and expensive

    Manual deployments, single points of failure and unmanaged cost leave outages as the main way problems are found.

Replace it one piece at a time.

  1. Legacy modernisation by strangler-fig migration

    Capabilities are carved out behind a routing layer one at a time, so the old and new systems run side by side until the old one is retired.

  2. Resilient distributed platforms

    Services with defined failure modes, back-pressure and observability, designed to degrade gracefully rather than fall over.

  3. Cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines

    Infrastructure as code, repeatable zero-downtime deployments and cost visibility from the first environment.

Client endorsement

They moved us off a platform we were afraid to touch, one module at a time, with nothing lost along the way.
