The Hard Art of Decision Making - Case Study
summary
A company rewrote its internal intranet into a new service product using PHP 8, Symfony 6, MySQL, Twig and Stimulus for the UI, containerized with Docker and built via Bitbucket CI; unit and integration tests were added later. Integrations were moved into separate ingestion services (alpha/beta) that sync hourly and later accept a third source, reducing load and providing cleaned data for reuse. The result is the legacy system becoming largely unused while the new system runs in production and is actively developed, with tool choices driven by familiarity, simplicity and ROI.
