summary
An advertising startup with 40 employees and ~100 million monthly downloads confronts a failed custom app, kills a crappy Access database, and adopts a 20-year-old monolithic product (3 million lines, Pervasive SQL). Key risks include a vendor-held domain and four separate undocumented manual vendor handoffs centered on Brent single point of failure. A cloud first deployment to Azure using Server 2012 VMs with autoscale succeeds, executed as stealth devops while cultural problems persist.
