New features take months to build: Legacy architecture makes simple changes complex and time-consuming
Developers refuse to work on legacy code: Talent retention suffers when engineers fight outdated technology daily
Infrastructure can't scale: Systems buckle under modern load, causing performance issues and downtime
Security vulnerabilities accumulating: Old frameworks and libraries create compliance and security risks
Integration challenges: Legacy systems can't connect to modern tools, APIs, and cloud services
High maintenance costs: More budget goes to keeping lights on than building new capabilities
