Great point about using modern stacks like React and Node.js. Curious to know how often teams go for a full rebuild versus a refactor when working with older systems—that tradeoff can really define the project’s scope and success.
Thanks! That’s a great question—and you’re absolutely right, the decision between a full rebuild and a refactor is critical.
In our experience at OwnTechnologies, it often depends on a few key factors like the existing architecture’s flexibility, long-term goals, and how tightly coupled the legacy system is. If the old codebase is too rigid or incompatible with modern practices (e.g., missing APIs, outdated tech), teams lean toward a full rebuild. But when there’s a stable foundation, a phased refactor using modern stacks like React and Node.js can reduce risk and allow for smoother transitions.
We usually start with a code audit to decide what’s salvageable—and often, a hybrid approach ends up being the smartest path.
Happy to dive deeper into real-world examples if you’re interested!
The emphasis on system audits before deciding on a migration path is spot on. It’s surprising how many businesses try to rush into new tech without fully understanding what needs to be preserved or rebuilt.
