I replaced our aging infra with AWS, oversaw replacement of a mishmash of C#, C++, PHP, and Java1.4 by a concise Java 11 based app, and I'm about to deploy our first PWA with a Postgres/Vert.x/OIDC backend. Legacy is still running Apache2/PHP5+MySQL.
I would describe the tech stack I've inherited charitably as "nearly pure opportunity."
- time0ut 6y agoWhat has your Vert.x experience been like? I've been using it in production for 3 years and regret selecting it.
- _jjkk 6y agoGood on you for being able to focus on the opportunity. Too many developers are discouraged when inheriting a legacy app. Nobody wants to be a turd polisher, but like you said, that just means there's even more opportunity for improvement.
