Modern API layer in front of a legacy system to enable new digital channels
Typical client: Companies with valuable but inaccessible legacy systems
Discuss a similar projectThe challenge
A legacy system holds critical data and logic but cannot serve modern apps, portals or partners directly.
The solution
A modern API layer that exposes legacy capabilities through clean, versioned APIs while leaving the legacy core untouched.
Business benefit
New channels can be built quickly without forcing immediate legacy replacement.
Key capabilities
- Versioned REST or GraphQL APIs
- Authentication and rate-limiting
- Audit log of all calls
- Cache and resilience patterns
- Per-consumer access control
How it works
- 1API contract is defined for a needed capability
- 2Adapter wraps the legacy call with caching and resilience
- 3New apps and partners consume the API
- 4Legacy can be replaced behind the API without breaking consumers
