Reader reviews for Kill It With Fire: Managing Aging Computer Systems (And Future Proof Modern Ones)

From the publisher

Kill It with Fire chronicles the challenges of dealing with aging computer systems, along with sound modernization strategies.

How to survive a legacy apocalypse

"Kill it with fire," the typical first reaction to a legacy system falling into obsolescence, is a knee-jerk approach that often burns through tons of money and time only to result in a less efficient solution. This book offers a far more forgiving modernization framework, laying out smart value-add strategies and proven techniques that work equally well for ancient systems and brand-new ones.

Renowned for restoring some of the world's oldest, messiest computer networks to operational excellence, software engineering expert Marianne Bellotti distills key lessons and insights from her experience into practical, research-backed guidance to help you determine when and how to modernize. With witty, engaging prose, Bellotti explains why new doesn't always mean better, weaving in illuminating case studies and anecdotes from her work in the field.

You'll learn:

  • Where to focus your maintenance efforts for maximum impact and value
  • How to pick the right modernization solutions for your specific needs and keep your plans on track
  • How to assess whether your migrations will add value before you invest in them
  • What to consider before moving data to the cloud
  • How to determine when a project is finished

  • Packed with resources, exercises, and flexible frameworks for organizations of all ages and sizes, Kill It with Fire will give you a vested interest in your technology's future.
