Technology Debt

Legacy code, quick fixes, and outdated tooling may keep things running. For now. But technical debt compounds. Eventually, it slows delivery, frustrates teams, and drives up long-term costs. Replatforming isn’t always necessary, but the strategy is.

When Tech Debt Grows, Innovation Slows

Quick fixes, outdated tools, and short-term thinking pile up. Tech debt eventually slows down not just your team but also growth and costs.

You may be facing:

  • Code that's fragile, undocumented, or hard to extend
  • Older frameworks that are no longer safe or supported
  • Short-term features that create long-term complexity
  • Slow development cycles and unpredictable releases
  • Inconsistency between teams using different standards or systems

Why it happens:

  • Speed was prioritized over scalability in the early stages
  • Tools and frameworks haven't kept pace with your growth
  • There's no clear architecture or code ownership
  • Refactoring gets neglected or postponed
  • Documentation and process discipline weren't enforced
