A full rewrite is rarely the right first move, even when a codebase feels unmanageable. Before reaching that conclusion, look for specific, addressable signals.
If deploys require a scheduled maintenance window, if your team avoids touching certain files out of fear, if onboarding a new engineer takes more than a month to reach productivity, or if your infrastructure costs scale faster than your traffic — these are modernization problems, not rewrite problems.
A targeted modernization plan that addresses these specific pain points, sequenced over months rather than attempted all at once, is almost always cheaper and less risky than starting over.
