Stop Maintaining What You Should Be Rebuilding

For years, we have been preaching to treat all software as if it must live forever. Every app should be versioned, documented, upgraded, and carefully preserved using DevOps practices - even when its original purpose disappeared long ago.

In this session, we’ll challenge that mindset.
Not all software deserves long-term maintenance. Especially around Business Central, many small and medium-sized apps exist to solve temporary problems: integrations, workflows, experiments, or short-lived business needs. Maintaining these apps often costs more than rebuilding them.

We’ll explore the concept of throwaway software: applications designed to be built fast, used confidently, and discarded without regret. Using modern tools like AI-assisted and no-code platforms, these apps can be recreated faster than they can be maintained.

At the same time, we’ll be very clear about where this approach does not apply. Mission-critical systems, core ERP logic, and compliance-sensitive solutions still require traditional software engineering discipline.
You’ll leave with:

- A clear mental model for deciding what to maintain vs. what to rebuild
- Real-world examples of disposable apps integrating with Business Central
- On stage demo creating a disposable app
- Practical guidance on how to avoid technical debt while moving faster than ever

Sometimes, the most responsible thing you can do for your software is to let it go.
