Legacy Modernization

SoloForge LLC retires technical debt incrementally — strangler-fig migrations and API facades that keep your business running while you modernize.

Your COBOL mainframe or .NET Framework monolith is not going away overnight — and it should not have to. SoloForge modernization programs extract value in every phase: new channels launch on modern APIs while legacy systems run in parallel until safe retirement.

Application assessment

SoloForge begins every engagement with a two-week audit: codebase analysis, dependency mapping, business-critical path identification, and a prioritized roadmap with cost estimates per module. You decide what to modernize first based on ROI, not our preference.

Strangler-fig migration

We wrap legacy modules with REST/GraphQL APIs, route new traffic to modern services, and retire old code only when regression tests pass. A logistics client replaced their 15-year-old order system over 18 months without a single weekend outage.

API extraction layer

Modern interfaces over DB2, Oracle, or SOAP services — unblock mobile and web channels fast.

.NET Framework → .NET 8

Incremental upgrades with compatibility shims and automated test suites.

Data migration

Dual-write periods, reconciliation scripts, and validated cutover runbooks.

Decommission planning

License savings analysis and safe retirement of unused infrastructure.

Legacy assessment — fixed scope
