Modernize without rewriting.
Strangler-fig modernization that wraps legacy systems with modern APIs so each phase ships standalone value. AWS Advanced Consulting Partner. 25 years of production builds. No big-bang rewrites.
The problem
It's Not a Technology Problem. It's a Problem Problem.
The industry has a 92% failure rate - and it's not because developers can't code. Projects fail because teams build the wrong thing. They skip the hard work of understanding the actual customer need, rush into development, and deliver software nobody asked for. Then they blame the timeline, the budget, or the technology. We've shipped over 100 production platforms in 25 years. The reason we succeed isn't that we write better code -- it's that we start with the right question. Before we build anything, we work with you to identify the real problem your customers have, validate that the solution you're imagining actually solves it, and define exactly what "done" looks like. That's the work most firms skip. It's the work that determines whether your project joins the 92% or the 8%.
The Modernization Problem
Your legacy system is quietly costing you a competitor.
Legacy systems don't announce their obsolescence. They degrade gradually. Deployment cycles that used to take hours now take days. Features that should be straightforward require workarounds. The one engineer who understands the authentication system is thinking about retirement. Your cloud bill grows 15% every year with no corresponding capability gain. Meanwhile competitors ship features weekly on modern architectures while you maintain code written during the Obama administration. Most modernization firms make this worse. They pitch big-bang rewrites that take 18 months and produce nothing shippable until month 14. By month 8 your team is in rewrite-purgatory — half-maintaining the legacy system, half-building its replacement, fully overwhelmed. We've watched too many of these fail. Caxy does it differently.
“They’re the smartest group of people I’ve worked with; they can figure anything out. Caxy has respect for design. Other web firms often push back against designers if the designs don’t fit how they do things. By contrast, the Caxy team bends over backward to respect the original design concepts."
“They often go above and beyond to fully dig into a problem, identify solutions, and achieve our end goals. {...} We now can scale up our site and support future growth, thanks to Caxy Interactive’s efforts.”
“We feel like we’ve got a site that’s worth more than we paid for. The change that we were proposing from a redesign standpoint wasn’t going to be easy. So, he offered multiple times to come out and meet with many of those senior executives that have been with the company for 20 years.”
How modernization works
Phased delivery from day one.
Week 1-3: Architecture audit. We map your stack, identify the components most worth replacing first (highest pain, lowest risk), and design the strangler-fig boundary. Week 4 onward: We wrap the first component with a modern API, deploy it next to the legacy system, route traffic, validate, and only then deprecate the old code. Each component ships in 2-4 week phases. After 90 days you've replaced the highest-value pieces. Within 12-18 months the modernization is complete and your team is running on the new stack.
Process Wins
A modernized stack that cuts engineering maintenance burden by 30-50%, accelerates feature delivery by 3-4x within 12-18 months, and keeps your team functional throughout. No frozen roadmaps, no rewrite-purgatory.
