Legacy tech
We've seen it all. We can fix it
A reference list of legacy technologies we modernize — and what the recommended migration path typically looks like. The mono label marks the risk of staying on it.
Frontend frameworks
[ Critical ]
AngularJS (1.x)
End of life since 2021. No security patches. Migration to Angular 17+ or React.
[ High ]
jQuery-heavy frontends
Hard to maintain, no component model. Migration to modern component-based UI.
[ High ]
Backbone.js
Abandoned, unmaintained. Full rewrite in modern stack recommended.
[ High ]
Knockout.js
Still used in enterprise, but no active development. Migration path available.
[ High ]
Ext JS legacy versions
Complex but migratable — we've done it.
[ Medium ]
Vue 2
End of life since 2023. Migration to Vue 3 or React is typically smooth.
[ Medium ]
Old React (class components, Redux)
Functional components and modern patterns significantly improve maintainability.
Backend technologies
[ Critical ]
PHP 5 / PHP 7
PHP 5 is end of life. PHP 7.4 ended support in 2022. Migration to PHP 8.x.
[ High ]
.NET Framework (4.x)
Not cross-platform, limited new features. Migration to .NET 8 LTS recommended.
[ High ]
Java 8 / Spring Boot 1.x
Java 8 security patches ended. Migration to Java 21 LTS + Spring Boot 3.
[ High ]
Ruby on Rails 4.x / 5.x
Multiple CVEs unpatched. Upgrade to Rails 7.x or re-platform where appropriate.
[ High ]
Old Laravel (5.x, 6.x)
End of life. Migration to Laravel 11 is well-trodden — we do it often.
[ Medium ]
Node.js / Express legacy
Unstructured Express apps accumulate debt fast. Refactor + add TypeScript.
[ Critical ]
Outdated Python 2 / Django 2
Python 2 EOL since 2020. Migration to Python 3.12+ with modern tooling.
Architecture & systems
[ High ]
Monoliths with high coupling
We don't automatically break them into microservices — often a modular monolith is the right target.
[ High ]
Systems without tests
We establish test safety nets before any refactoring begins.
[ Medium ]
SOAP / XML-based integrations
Migration to REST/GraphQL APIs with proper documentation.
[ High ]
Old CRM/ERP/intranet platforms
Custom portals built on old CMSes or frameworks — we assess and recommend migration or replacement.
[ Medium ]
Manual data flows between core systems
Point-to-point exports and hand-carried files between ERP, CRM and reporting. We replace them with monitored, automated integrations.
[ High ]
Deployment without CI/CD
Manual deployments are a safety risk. We introduce CI/CD as part of any modernization.
Important note
A business problem, not a tech checklist
Old technology isn't a problem in itself. It becomes a problem when it makes your business slower, riskier, or more expensive to operate. We help you understand the real cost of your current stack — and then modernize it in a way that creates business value, not just newer version numbers.

One call, an honest read on risk and effort — before any commitment.
