Modernising a Legacy .NET Platform Without Stopping Delivery

Tue, Jul 28 · 6:00 PM BST

Hybrid

The Acorn Group, Atlantic Pavilion Albert Dock L3 4AE, Liverpool, GB

For our July meet-up, we will be welcoming Kseniia Korostelova, who will be delivering a talk on Modernising a Legacy .NET Platform Without Stopping Delivery

Modernizing legacy systems sounds exciting in architecture diagrams. But reality is usually much messier.

Tightly coupled services, shared databases, hidden dependencies, operational risk, delivery pressure, and years of accumulated technical debt make large-scale modernization far more complex than simply “moving to microservices” or “upgrading to .NET Core”.

In this talk, I’ll share lessons learned from modernizing a large-scale .NET platform operating in a high-throughput, highly regulated environment serving millions of users and processing thousands of transactions per second — all while continuing to deliver features and support live production workloads.

Rather than a big-bang rewrite, we adopted an incremental modernization strategy:

modernizing APIs and service boundaries,
extracting selected capabilities into dedicated services,
introducing orchestration layers,
and progressively migrating parts of the platform from .NET Framework to .NET Core.

I’ll cover both the technical and organizational realities of the journey:

what worked well,
what became unexpectedly difficult,
where microservices helped,
where they introduced new complexity,
and why modernization is often more about managing risk and dependencies than technology itself.

This session is not a step-by-step migration tutorial.

It is a practical, experience-driven look at how engineering teams evolve large legacy systems at scale without pausing delivery, disrupting production, or rewriting everything from scratch.
