Legacy Platform Modernization

Rebuilt a 10-year-old data integration platform while maintaining 99.9% uptime for enterprise customers.

§ 01The Challenge

What we walked into.

Our client's monolithic Ruby application was limiting growth. They needed to modernize without disrupting service for 200+ enterprise customers processing 1B+ records daily.

  • 0110-year-old monolithic codebase!
  • 02Unable to scale beyond 1B records/day!
  • 0345-minute deployment process!
  • 04Growing technical debt blocking features!
§ 02The Approach

How we shipped it.

We executed a gradual migration strategy, moving to microservices while maintaining full backward compatibility.

PHASE 01

Analysis & Planning (Month 1)

  • Codebase audit
  • Architecture design
  • Migration roadmap
PHASE 02

Core Services (Months 2-6)

  • Extract critical services
  • Build new data pipeline
  • Implement service mesh
PHASE 03

Migration & Optimization (Months 7-9)

  • Gradual customer migration
