Part 4 in the Uncovering Technical Debt Series from Intellyx, for vFunction. [Check out part 1 | 2 | 3 here.] We’ve dug deep into our technology stacks, uncovering all of the legacy artifacts and monoliths that we could find from past incarnations of our organization. We’ve cataloged them, rebuilt them to modern coding standards, […]
In today’s market environment, the ability to quickly take advantage of new technological capabilities is of paramount importance to a company’s ability to maintain or enhance its competitive position. That’s why for many businesses, the modernization of their legacy application portfolio has become not just a high priority but an existential necessity. The problem such […]
For companies that depend on legacy applications for critical business processing, modernizing those apps to make them compatible with today’s technologically sophisticated cloud ecosystem is crucial. But because most legacy apps are monolithic, updating them can be a difficult, time-consuming, and risky process. A monolithic codebase is organized as a single unit that has function […]
This post was originally featured on Forbes In my previous article, we talked about the cultural problems caused by an unwillingness or the fear of modernizing monolithic applications. After all, cloud-native architectures built on microservices offer compelling value—and are exciting for developers to work with. However, even if organizations recognize these facts and decide to actively pursue […]

Assessment Hub Express is a cloud-based version of the recently announced vFunction Assessment Hub and provides a rapid, self-service technical debt assessment solution that is free for up to 3 applications for one year. […]
This post was originally featured on TheNewStack, sponsored by vFunction. When it comes to refactoring monolithic applications into microservices, most engineering teams have no idea where to start. Additionally, a recent survey revealed that 79% of modernization projects fail, at an average cost of $1.5 million and 16 months of work. In other articles, we discussed […]
Many companies still depend on legacy applications for some of their most business-critical processing. But those apps typically don’t support the kind of technological agility that’s needed for continuing success in today’s ever-changing marketplace environment. That’s why modernizing legacy apps is an accelerating trend among leading companies. But app modernization is not easy—it requires highly […]
Companies today must be highly agile to meet ever-evolving marketplace demands. But the legacy applications many still depend on for much of their business-critical processing are ill-equipped to support that kind of agility. That’s why identifying and overcoming app modernization challenges is critically important. The Consortium For Information & Software Quality (CISQ) highlights the necessity […]
