Explore strategies for refactoring to modern frameworks, splitting monoliths, improving performance and reliability, while reducing operating costs without disrupting core users. Legacy systems often represent significant technical debt, but modernizing them requires careful planning to maintain business continuity.

Modernizing legacy products is a complex journey that requires balancing business requirements with technical improvements. At Codlix, we follow a phased approach that minimizes risk while delivering incremental value. Our strategy focuses on refactoring critical components, splitting monolithic architectures into microservices, and adopting modern frameworks that improve maintainability and performance.

Refactor to modern frameworks, split monoliths, improve performance and reliability, and reduce operating cost without disrupting core users.

Framework refactoring starts with a thorough assessment of the existing codebase to identify outdated dependencies, security vulnerabilities, and performance bottlenecks. We create a detailed migration plan that prioritizes high-impact areas while maintaining system stability. Our approach involves incremental refactoring, where we modernize components one at a time, ensuring each step is tested and validated before moving to the next.

Monolith decomposition is often the most impactful modernization effort. We use domain-driven design principles to identify bounded contexts and extract them into independent services. This process involves careful analysis of data dependencies, API boundaries, and business logic to ensure clean separation. The result is a more scalable, maintainable architecture that enables independent deployment and scaling of services.
