Everyone has legacy demons lurking in their codebases. Most businesses have succeeded because of the legacy and tech debt they've accumulated while they work out the right thing to build and move quickly to capitalise on advantages. But what happens when this comes home to roost? How do you know when its right to take the plunge to solve this? How do you pitch to get the capacity to replatform? What are the best ways to demonstrate value and not have this work easily cut off the chopping block? What are the different models you can take to achieve this?
After 16 years of building a "big ball of mud", we knew at hipages this was a blocker to us growing. We've been able to transform the core of our business, all while growing and building out new features, using different approaches, with buy-in all the way to the board.
Join me as I take you on this journey to solving your legacy and tech debt challenges in an ever crowded product roadmap!
