As enterprises evolve, their codebases naturally expand, becoming more complex and harder to manage—regardless of the technology stack, whether its modern languages or legacy systems.

  • Complexity and Maintenance Difficulties
    • Understanding and navigating vast amounts of code becomes increasingly difficult, leading to errors and inefficiencies.
  • Degraded Code Quality
    • Over time, code can become cluttered and inconsistent, making it prone to bugs and harder to maintain.
  • Slower Delivery Timelines
    • Implementing new features or updates takes longer due to the sheer size and complexity of the codebase.
  • Knowledge Silos
    • Critical information about the system is often held by a few key individuals, risking significant knowledge loss if they leave.
  • High Onboarding Costs
    • New developers require extensive time to become familiar with the system, delaying their productivity.
