Learn how to navigate the complex decision-making process around system rewrites versus evolution in platform engineering through this conference talk from LDX3 London 2025. Explore the common challenges platform teams face when dealing with unsustainable systems that no longer meet current needs, including the temptation to solve problems through complete technology overhauls and the significant costs associated with large-scale migrations. Discover frameworks for making informed decisions about when to rewrite systems versus when to evolve existing ones, gain insights into effective planning and execution strategies for major technical transitions, and understand how to maintain stakeholder satisfaction and customer happiness throughout lengthy migration processes. Master practical approaches to avoiding the "rewrite trap" that many engineering teams fall into when dealing with legacy systems and technical debt.
