What we modernize and migrate
PHP upgrades and migration
Old PHP 5 and 7 apps upgraded to PHP 8, or moved to Laravel, Symfony, Node.js or another modern stack.
Java modernization
Java 8 to Java 17 or 21, Spring to current Spring Boot, javax to jakarta, and old app servers to containers.
.NET modernization
.NET Framework and Web Forms to modern .NET, ASP.NET Core and cross-platform hosting.
Monolith to microservices
Split a large codebase into well-defined services, one piece at a time, only where it improves speed or scale.
Front-end modernization
jQuery, AngularJS and server-rendered pages rebuilt in React or Next.js with a modern, accessible UI.
Cloud-native refactoring
Containers, managed databases, queues and serverless, so the app scales and costs less to run.
How we approach Modernization & migration
Why modernize now
Unsupported language versions stop getting security fixes, hosting gets harder, and every new feature takes longer than it should. Modernizing removes that risk and makes the software cheaper to change, without throwing away the business logic that already works.
Rewrite or refactor?
A full rewrite is rarely the safest path. We assess the code and usually recommend an incremental approach: upgrade what can be upgraded, replace the parts that block you, and keep everything that still works. You get a clear recommendation and cost for each option.
No big-bang switchover
We put automated tests and monitoring around the existing system first, then migrate in small, reversible steps, often running old and new side by side. Your users keep working, and every step can be rolled back.
Documented and handed over
You get updated documentation, a CI/CD pipeline and a codebase your own team can maintain. The same engineers can stay on for support and new features.
Remote, but close to Sao Paulo
Time-zone overlap
Brazil is eight and a half hours behind India. We run flexible late shifts for a live daily stand-up in your morning, and the rest of the work moves forward while you sleep.
Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD)
We design to the LGPD: a legal basis for each use of data, data-subject rights, security controls and data hosted in Brazilian cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Brazilian reais (BRL) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Sao Paulo's key sectors
Sao Paulo startups and businesses work with us on fintech, marketplaces and AI automation, designed to the LGPD.
Agribusiness
Large-scale farms adopt precision agriculture and logistics tools. Customer and field apps are where we usually start here.
Fintech and banking
Digital banks and Pix reshaped how Brazilians pay. Apps for customers, staff and partners, built on one codebase.
Retail and e-commerce
Mobile shoppers expect instalments and fast checkout. We design and ship iOS and Android apps for teams in this sector.
Mining and energy
Resource companies digitise operations and safety. Customer and field apps are where we usually start here.

How it works
1. Free assessment

2. Plan and safety net
We add automated tests and monitoring around what exists today, so every change can be checked against the old behaviour.
3. Migrate in small steps
Module by module, with both versions running side by side where needed. You see progress in a demo every week.
4. Cut over and support
A planned switch-over with a rollback path, then the same engineers stay on to fix, tune and keep it current.
