Re-platform Pod. @replatform-pod

We don't rip-and-replace legacy systems overnight. The Re-platform Pod is an ongoing squad that executes a monolith-to-modern migration incrementally: services carved out of the monolith by domain, replaced piece by piece behind stable interfaces, and cut over with zero downtime — while the business keeps running on the system being replaced.

The pod works the roadmap phase by phase — cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, then incremental migration using the strangler fig pattern — with migration health visible on real-time dashboards, so progress is measured in retired legacy components, not slideware.

Strangler Fig Execution

Incremental replacement that keeps the legacy system live and stable while modern services take over its responsibilities one by one.

Domain-Driven Decomposition

Service boundaries drawn by business domain, not by convenience — so the target architecture stays coherent as it grows.

Zero-Downtime Cutovers

Each migration phase cuts over behind blue-green deployments and progressive traffic shifts, with rollback available at every step.

Migration Telemetry

Real-time dashboards tracking migration health: components migrated, legacy retired, performance deltas, and cost movement.

1. Embed — The pod takes on the roadmap (yours, or one from a Modernization Roadmap Sprint), stands up target infrastructure, and sequences the first phase.
2. Ship weekly — Weekly increments: services extracted, tested, and cut over — each one production-proven before the next starts.
3. Scale — Pod size flexes per phase, through to legacy retirement and cost optimization at the end of the migration.

The Re-platform Pod is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.

Will the migration disrupt our business?

The method exists precisely to prevent that. The legacy system stays live throughout; each cutover is incremental, reversible, and verified in production before the next begins.

How long does a migration like this take?

Incremental modernization typically runs 3–12 months depending on system size and how much moves. Because delivery is phased, value lands from the first cutover — you're never waiting on a distant big bang.

What if priorities change mid-migration?

The phased structure absorbs it: phases can be re-sequenced, paused, or resized at the plan backlog level. Completed phases stand on their own — nothing depends on finishing everything.
