Reducing Technical Debt After Modernization
Challenges We Faced
Growing Technical Debt:
The application’s outdated code and inefficient libraries were slowing development and introducing frequent bugs.
Performance Bottlenecks:
The legacy system could not scale to handle growing user traffic, leading to slower response times and user frustration.
High Maintenance Costs:
The outdated system required constant fixes and manual intervention, draining resources that could be spent on innovation.
Risk of Future Innovation:
Introducing new features was slow and error-prone due to the instability of the existing codebase.
The client’s legacy application had accumulated technical debt, resulting in slow performance, high maintenance costs, and an inability to scale or innovate effectively.
WhizzBridge’s Solution
Code Refactoring & App Modernization:
We refactored the codebase to remove inefficiencies, modernized the core components, and migrated the system to AWS for better scalability and reliability.
Cloud Infrastructure Optimization:
We transitioned the system to cloud-based infrastructure (AWS) to enable seamless scaling and improve performance under higher loads.
CI/CD Pipeline Implementation:
We implemented automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Docker to streamline deployments and reduce manual errors.
Automated Testing & Monitoring:
We set up automated testing and integrated real-time monitoring with Prometheus to ensure the system’s stability and performance.
Results We Achieved
Reduced Technical Debt by 60%:
We eliminated 60% of the technical debt by refactoring outdated code and removing unnecessary dependencies.
Improved Performance by 40%:
The modernized application now loads 40% faster and can handle 3x more users without performance degradation.
Lowered Maintenance Costs by 35%:
The client reduced maintenance costs by 35%, freeing up resources for new feature development and reducing reliance on legacy fixes.
Increased Feature Release Speed by 50%:
With a cleaner, more stable foundation, the client is now able to release new features 50% faster, staying ahead of market demands.
The upgrade reduced debt, improved performance, and enabled features to ship significantly faster.
