FAQs
How do you determine the right modernization approach — whether it’s re-platforming, re-architecting, or a full rebuild — for each app?
The best modernization approach depends on several factors, including the application’s current state, market relevance, expected outcomes, budget, and timelines. In most cases, a full rebuild isn’t necessary: tweaking architecture or migrating to a newer tech stack can bring significant improvements.
Our application modernization consulting services provide you with the most cost-effective and efficient solution tailored to your needs. Drop us a line, and our consultants will help you with your specific case.
How do DevOps and CI/CD pipelines support the modernization process, and what benefits do they bring to deployment cycles?
DevOps bridges the gap between development and operations. CI/CD pipelines automate deployment, making the entire process faster, smoother, and more reliable. A well-structured DevOps setup speeds up development cycles, reduces downtime, and ensures faster feature delivery to end users.
How can modernization make IT investments last longer and deliver greater ROI over time?
While legacy systems may still function, they come with challenges that make maintenance increasingly difficult and costly. As the talent pool for legacy technologies shrinks, finding skilled specialists becomes more expensive and time-consuming.
Modernization is an investment in long-term efficiency and scalability. With modern technologies, you’ll find specialists faster, making maintenance and upgrades more seamless. Adding new functionality and scaling systems becomes easier, and integrating advanced technologies like AI/ML is far smoother compared to working with outdated infrastructures.
How can integrating advanced technologies like AI and machine learning transform traditional applications and create new business opportunities?
Emerging technologies boost functionality, improve efficiency, and uncover new engagement opportunities. For instance, AI-based recommender systems can understand what your customer is looking for in real time and suggest the most suitable services or goods from your offerings.
AR/VR property tours in real estate can provide a competitive edge over standard photo and video listings. The internet of things (IoT), paired with a specialized app or module, allows users to continuously monitor and remotely control the hardware they use.
Still, remember: technology should complement, not replace, existing systems. Our consultants can guide you toward the most valuable strategic tech upgrades if you're unsure about implementation.
What’s the value of moving to a microservices architecture, and how can organizations assess if it’s the right fit?
Microservices break applications into independent, modular services, which enables faster updates, fewer disruptions, and greater scalability. There’s no universal rule that it’s time to switch, but common indicators include:
- Development teams slowing each other down while working on a single codebase.
- A service that needs to be reused across multiple parts of the system.
- A specific functionality requiring a dedicated team and additional innovation resources.
- One feature consuming significantly more computing power than others.
A full microservices transition isn’t always necessary. In some cases, separating just one or two major features while keeping the rest as a monolith is the most practical approach.
