Legacy systems cost enterprises 60-80% of their IT budgets in maintenance alone. Modernization isn't optional — it's survival.
**Step 1: Assessment & Discovery** — Map all legacy systems, dependencies, and data flows. Identify quick wins vs complex migrations.
**Step 2: Define Target Architecture** — Cloud-native, microservices, API-first. Choose between rehost, replatform, refactor, or rebuild.
**Step 3: Strangler Fig Pattern** — Incrementally replace legacy components with modern services. No big-bang migration needed.
**Step 4: API Layer** — Build an API gateway that abstracts legacy systems. New features consume APIs, not legacy databases.
**Step 5: Data Migration** — ETL pipelines, data validation, and parallel runs to ensure zero data loss.
**Step 6: Parallel Running** — Run old and new systems simultaneously. Compare outputs to verify correctness.
**Step 7: Cutover & Decommission** — Switch traffic to new system, decommission legacy infrastructure.
