Don’t Rebuild, Scale: Choosing the Right Technology for Long-Term Growth

As consultants, we’re often asked to improve an existing application for a client.  It’s a challenge we’re well versed in but it can be a painful process, especially when the current tech stack wasn’t designed with future growth in mind.

We find ourselves delivering some hard news, that the only way to get the desired improvements is to do a complete rebuild of the app in a different framework or tech stack.  This usually equates to more time and money which could have been avoided by choosing a more scalable solution from the start.

The Problem with “Quick and Cheap” Solutions

We understand that clients are often forced to choose the easiest and most affordable solution when getting their app out the door.  However, building an app with minimal scalability can box you in and leave you scrambling when your business grows and your app can’t keep up.  The alternative is a forward-thinking approach that balances today’s needs with tomorrow’s potential growth.

A Forward-Thinking Approach

At Ingage, we specialize in helping clients think beyond their immediate needs.  We’ve worked with countless businesses and know the common features and upgrades that are often needed down the road.  With this in mind, we can help you choose a solution that balances your current needs with long term growth and possibilities.

Here are some of the frequent requests for improvement we get from clients:

  • Modern UI/UX improvements
  • Scaling for Traffic Growth
  • 3rd-Party Plugin Integration
  • Custom Features

Don’t let short-term decisions hold you back from long-term growth.  With the right planning and expertise, your app can be set up to easily grow to meet new challenges and opportunities.
