this morning on #c9d9 we discussed continuous delivery for legacy applications.
assuming your business did not start yesterday – you probably have some of those lying around: those applications that might be poorly understood, or poorly tested, that can be cumbersome or brittle, that may be difficult to update — but that somehow – still "just work".
this is the legacy code that keeps the lights on, but that you’re afraid to touch…
how do you deal with all your pre-devops applications?
should you embark on a journey to ‘devops’ify your legacy applications? if so, how can you bring legacy code and technical debt into the fold – as part of your cd pipelines?
on the show, we discussed:
- how do you define legacy?
- should you poke that bear?
- what are some of the challenges doing ci and cd for legacy apps?
- what are some of the best practices to bring devops practices to legacy applications — where should you start, and how to go about it?
