Production Architectural Standard //

Legacy software is often a company’s most valuable intellectual asset, yet it is trapped in aging architectures that resist modern scale, mobile accessibility, and AI integration. Big-bang rewrites fail in over 80% of enterprise cases. At SHIVAM ITCS, we specialize in the Strangler Fig modernization pattern: using reverse proxies (YARP) and event-driven facades to incrementally migrate mission-critical ASP.NET WebForms, WCF, and VB6/C# monoliths into modern .NET 9/10 cloud APIs and Next.js frontends — with 0.00 seconds of unplanned downtime.

CORE TECHNICAL FOUNDATIONS //

Architectural Pillars of this Discipline

01

Strangler Fig Reverse Proxy Routing (YARP)

Deploying Yet Another Reverse Proxy (YARP) as an edge facade that routes requests between legacy ASP.NET WebForms and new .NET 10 microservices transparently to end users.

02

Database Dual-Write & Change Data Capture (CDC)

Synchronizing monolithic databases with modern cloud databases in real time using SQL Server CDC, ensuring complete data consistency before final schema decoupling.

03

AI Intelligence Wrapping on Legacy Core APIs

Wrapping decades-old SOAP/REST legacy endpoints with modern Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing autonomous AI agents to query legacy ERPs safely.

EXECUTION ROADMAP //

Engineering Delivery Framework

Phase 01

Codebase Audit & Dependency Graphing

Scanning legacy codebases to map hidden database stored procedures, external COM dependencies, and transaction bottlenecks.

Phase 02

Reverse Proxy Facade Setup

Deploying YARP to capture 100% of incoming application traffic, enabling routing control at the individual URL route level.

Phase 03

Incremental Vertical Slice Migration

Extracting highest-value business domains into clean .NET 9/10 APIs and Next.js frontends, migrating one module per sprint.

Phase 04

Legacy Decommissioning & Performance Audit

Retiring old Windows Servers, verifying zero remaining legacy calls, and optimizing new cloud infrastructure.

Shared Engineering Philosophy Across All 3 Pillars
Strangler Fig Pattern

No risky big-bang rewrites. We place YARP reverse proxy gateways in front of legacy monoliths and incrementally cut over microservices.

The 7 R's Framework

Retire, Retain, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Rearchitect, and Rebuild. We optimize for highest business ROI with lowest risk.

Zero Production Downtime

Dual-running synchronization and shadow traffic verify state consistency before switching live factory or financial transactions.

20+ Years Microsoft Heritage

Led by co-founders Ajay & Vijay Paliwal with continuous hands-on mastery from VB6/COM to modern containerized .NET 10 on Linux.

★★★★★5.0 Verified
✓ Zero-Hallucination SLA • Multi-LLM Swarms

“Vijay and the SHIVAM ITCS AI team didn't just execute the project - they elevated our entire platform. Their ability to architect complex multi-agent state machines, eliminate latency bottlenecks, enforce zero-hallucination guardrails, and create an intelligent multi-LLM orchestration layer was extraordinary. The final delivery was resilient, battle-tested, and far beyond expectations. One of the strongest AI systems engineering teams in the industry.”

Legacy Modernization FAQ

Direct answers to architectural, technical, and operational questions.

7 Questions
Q01Why do big-bang legacy rewrites fail and how do you avoid it?
Big-bang rewrites take years, lose domain rules, and introduce massive operational risk. We use incremental Strangler Fig modernization, modernizing feature by feature.
