I’ve seen it happen. The code is faster, but it doesn’t matter because users don’t care. It also took two years to rewrite, doesn’t have the features of the original, and all of the operational experience had to be relearned by the engineering and ops teams.
So, millions of dollars, years of time for no actual benefit, and now the business is left with an app they can’t hire talent to maintain because it’s so custom.
