Developer Productivity Tax
Tech-debt-heavy codebases can drain up to 42% of developer capacity on maintenance, workarounds, and manual regression checks. You are paying engineers to fight the software instead of shipping new business value.
Answer a few questions about your codebase, team, and budget to see what maintaining legacy software is really costing you every year.
Here is what staying on your current stack is likely costing you every year it goes unaddressed.

Compounding Cost of Delay
Legacy complexity has an interest rate. Left alone, spaghetti dependencies can grow 20% annually, turning a $1.2M modernization project today into $1.728M in just two years.
Security & Breach Risk Premium
+$1,760,000
In average breach exposure
Unsupported frameworks turn legacy systems into cyber targets. AngularJS alone carries 35+ unpatched CVEs. Without native logging, zero-trust controls, and rapid patching, breaches on legacy infrastructure can cost $1.76M more than on modernized cloud-native systems.
Unplanned Downtime Exposure
$300,000-$1,000,000
Per hour of outage
Tightly coupled architectures lack redundant, automated failovers. Over 90% of mid-size and large enterprises report that a single hour of unplanned downtime on core legacy applications exceeds $300,000.
Let's turn these numbers into a concrete modernization roadmap scoped to your stack, team, and budget.
