Join the narrative of a software architect migrating a Microsoft-stack-based application brimming with database logic.
You’ll encounter the usual suspects: missed deadlines, pressure from customers and management, a lack of tests, no CI/CD, no documentation, and a general loss of code knowledge.
The migration of legacy enterprise applications developed in the 1980s and 1990s, following the architectural pattern of a rich client with extensive stored procedures in the database, can be a significant challenge. Do you evolute or revolute such an architecture?
The heroic in-house development team, portrayed as knights and sorcerers, unites with external experts and battles for a better future by employing the battle plan “Strangler Fig Pattern” and moving to a better world using containerized applications. Do they win?
As in every good fairy tale, also I will give an outlook on how is the life today. AI can and will revolutionize the code migration.

As a Principal at a larger IT consulting company, I gain insights into many companies.
Of course, I'm not allowed to discuss my clients directly, but with this presentation, I pack one of the most exciting migration stories into an entertaining, fairy-tale-style narrative.
The challenges and concepts can be applied to a wide range of projects.

I'm also happy to deliver the presentation in German, if that's preferred.
Because I'm a wheelchair user, I would greatly appreciate an accessible route to the stage.
