It is true that something can still work and not be good anymore. There’s also a strong possibility that the apparent best thing you can do for your business is build new features on top of what you’ve already got. So how do you make the business case for digital transformation without slowing down the business?
Michael Angstadt shares straightforward approaches to justifying the investment in transformational engineering—whether it’s breaking apart a monolith into a services architecture, moving workloads into Kubernetes, paying down the technical debt of legacy code, or refactoring a core component to make it more testable—and walks you through a few real-world examples of how he’s made this case successfully at WP Engine.
