Application modernization

Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration — legacy Vue 2 reborn in Vue 3 with the Composition API

An existing application does not always need to be rebuilt from scratch. The first goal is to understand what is still working, what is holding the product back and which parts can be modernized gradually without interrupting normal development.

A rewrite is not always necessary. Frontend, backend, dependencies and UI can often be improved in stages. The right migration plan depends on the current architecture and the parts of the system that create the most friction.

01
Technical review
Reviewing the current architecture, dependencies and the parts of the system that create the most friction, before any change is made.
02
Migration plan
Defining the migration path and the order of the work, so the application can be modernized in stages instead of in one step.
03
Gradual implementation
Moving the application forward in stages, so normal development continues and existing workflows keep working throughout.
04
Verification and delivery
Final verification, documentation and delivery, followed by support for issues and stable operation after the migration.

What can be modernized: frontend structure; backend and APIs; dependencies and tooling; user interface and experience.

  • Current build tooling that removes legacy build constraints from feature delivery and day-to-day maintenance (Vite)
  • A documented TypeScript codebase aligned with current tooling for onboarding and maintenance
  • A staged plan designed to let normal product delivery continue where dependencies allow
  • Documentation, tests and a 30-day warranty after go-live

How long does a modernization take?

That depends on the size of the application, the state of the dependencies and how much of the system needs to change. The initial estimate includes a realistic first timeline based on the information you provide.

Often, yes. The work moves in stages, so existing functionality stays live while the modernization progresses part by part.

The technical review includes a full dependency map. Every incompatible library is either replaced, upgraded or isolated, and that decision is part of the migration plan.

Yes. The process is the same: technical review, migration plan, gradual implementation, verification and delivery.

Does the application have to be rebuilt from scratch?

No. Frontend, backend, dependencies and UI can often be improved in stages. A full rewrite is only proposed when it genuinely costs less than modernizing.
