Let’s be honest—legacy systems are exhausting.
If you have ever spent hours firefighting broken deployments, chasing dependencies across environments, or waiting days (sometimes weeks) for a release to go live… you know exactly what I’m talking about.
For years, I watched teams I worked with struggle to ship confidently. And despite having brilliant engineers, they were being held back by slow, outdated DevOps practices.
That’s what led me to write this eBook
👉 Modernizing DevOps: From Legacy Systems to Platform Engineering - v1.0.0
🚧 What’s the real cost of doing nothing?
Legacy systems don’t just slow you down. They chip away at your ability to compete:
- Releases become risky and rare
- Security feels reactive instead of built-in
- Collaboration between dev, ops, and QA starts to break down
- And tech debt? It starts to feel like a full-time job
The truth is, what used to work 10 years ago isn’t enough now. Customers expect speed. Developers expect autonomy. And businesses need agility to respond to change.
🔍 What’s inside the eBook?
This eBook is practical, readable, and filled with ideas you can actually use.
Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:
- 📚 How to spot the hidden costs of legacy systems
- 📚 Building a solid business case for modernization
- 📚 Breaking monoliths into microservices
- 📚 Automating with CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
- 📚 Baking security into your pipelines with DevSecOps
- 📚 Using platform engineering to simplify and scale
- 📚 Tailoring DevOps for embedded devices and IoT
- 📚 Measuring the right metrics to prove your progress
Think of it as your blueprint for DevOps done right — not perfect, but practical.
