ANONYMISED APPLICATION MODERNIZATION CASE
Improve the system without disregarding the business it already supports.
A factual account of work around a long-running tracking application built with Yii/PHP and operated in AWS. Client identity and confidential implementation detail are withheld.
THE OPERATING CONTEXT
The application was already part of the business.
The work had to account for existing users, live workflows, accumulated application behavior, and the AWS environment around it. That made continuity and incremental judgment more important than a fashionable rewrite.
