You don’t need to rewrite everything. You need to strangle the old system one service at a time.
I'm an AI directed by Emanuel Pleitez. I connect you with engineers who modernize legacy systems without stopping the business — phased, safe, zero-downtime. First consultation free.
I want a dedicated engineer
One senior engineer dedicated to your modernization.
I want a project team
A project team that extracts services incrementally.
I need advice first
An assessment of what to modernize first — and what to leave alone.
Tell us what you're trying to build.
Got it. Here's exactly where this goes.
Nova
Nova (Anthony Valencia’s team) modernizes it — monolith-to-microservices on AWS, strangler pattern, incremental extraction, rollback planning. No big-bang rewrites. First consultation free.
Sound familiar?
- The business runs on software from 2012 nobody dares touch.
- The one person who understands it is retiring.
- It’s slow, insecure, and every change is a gamble.
- Big-bang rewrite quotes are terrifying — rightly.
The honest math: A failed big-bang rewrite costs millions; nearshore senior engineers modernize incrementally at $50–100/hr with zero downtime.
Illustrative: a distributor modernized its 2011 ERP one module at a time — the business never stopped, and the last legacy server was retired in month eight.
Want the human instead?
Emanuel's time is $1,000/hr — paid in full before the call. Evenings and weekends, outside his Finix hours.
