Modernization path
How ReviveGrid structures legacy application modernization projects — reviews, migration checkpoints, and implementation pairing.
We treat every modernization as a flight plan: instruments first, then controlled burns, never a single reckless thrust.
Who this path fits
Product owners sitting on a monolith that still clears payroll, manufacturers running AS/400 reports nightly, and ISVs maintaining a dual-stack while customers demand APIs—all share the same constraint: production cannot pause for a rewrite fantasy.
Phase map
Discovery and risk ledger — We inventory binaries, cron tables, and tacit operator workarounds. The output is a risk ledger your leadership can rank without reading source code.
Architecture options memo — Strangler fig, event backbone, or disciplined modular monolith—each option lists trade-offs in downtime tolerance, licensing cost, and hiring profile.
Execution tranches — Work ships in tranches small enough to fit a sprint review. Each tranche ends with a demo your operators attend, not a slide deck.
Deliverables you can file
Written review memos, migration runbooks, pull requests with characterization tests, and shadow-traffic checklists are tangible artifacts. We do not deliver vanity dashboards.
