Engineering Judgment

Build New, or Improve What's Already There?

One of the most important engineering skills is knowing when to build new architecture and when to improve existing architecture.

SignalBuild New ArchitectureImprove Existing Architecture
System stateNo viable production system exists, or the existing one blocks growth entirelyA working production system already exists and carries real business value
RiskAcceptable to invest time in a rebuild without disrupting operationsDowntime or a full rewrite would put the business at risk
ObjectiveLong-term platform built around new requirementsStabilize, secure and extend what already works

The Bigger Picture

How CodeIgniter Fits the Larger System

A CodeIgniter engagement is still evaluated against the same architecture stack used for new builds.

01 PHP — the language underneath the existing CodeIgniter codebase.
↓
02 CodeIgniter — analyzed, stabilized and extended rather than discarded.
↓
03 MySQL — the data layer most legacy systems need optimized first.
↓
04 APIs — added on top so the system can talk to newer tools.
↓
05 Laravel — often the eventual migration path once the business case is clear.
