SERVICE DETAIL

Legacy Modernization / Migration

Starting at $5,600 — custom quote

Migrating aging stacks — PHP, Angular, monoliths, Django, brittle API gateways — to a modern Next.js and microservices foundation.

What's included

  • Audit of the existing system and a phased migration plan that avoids a risky big-bang rewrite
  • Incremental migration to Next.js / microservices architecture
  • API gateway and auth modernization where relevant
  • Performance and query optimization as part of the migration, not an afterthought
  • Regression coverage so the migration doesn't quietly break existing behavior

Process

  1. 01Technical audit of the current system and its risk areas
  2. 02Phased migration roadmap, sequenced to keep the system live throughout
  3. 03Incremental migration with regression testing at each phase
  4. 04Cutover, monitoring, and a stabilization period

Ideal client

Founders or teams carrying a legacy system that's now the bottleneck — slow to change, risky to touch, or blocking new hires from being productive.

RELATED WORK

Proof this works

Modernizing a Regulated Bank's API and Application Layer

A regulated banking platform was running on an aging API gateway and a monolithic application layer. Every change carried compliance risk, releases were slow, and the team needed a path off legacy infrastructure without disrupting a live, regulated system.

Migrating a Real-Time Stock Data Product off Django

A regional stock exchange data product was built on Django and PostgreSQL, with a real-time feed parser that was becoming a bottleneck as query volume grew. The stack needed to move to a more scalable foundation without interrupting a live, time-sensitive data product.
