The cost of not upgrading is always the worst option. It's just that those making the decisions might not have the same stakes. It has nothing to do with technology and happens in every situation.
Often you're just not even aware of what these costs are because you're wired to work around it. It just feels right to continue that workaround including continuing to hire and expand when it reality it's just more overhead.
- tyre 4y agonothing is always. Consider moving to an SOA. Rather than upgrading a monolith when the engineering team knows that it’ll gradually have pieces pulled out of it, use that effort on the migration.
