What's wrong with the monolith? If that monolith was designed 30 years ago on RAIDed hard drives, upgrading to an all-SSDs 4TB RAM system today probably would solve all of those issues.

Really: is the monolith problem so difficult that a $400,000 computer can't solve the problem? Is there any developer project you can fund for say $1 million ($400k for the computer, 600k for system IT time to transfer the data to the new computer) that would give the same return on investment?

$400k gets you an all RAIDed PCIe 4.0 SSDs + 4TBs of RAM, 128-core dual-socket EPYC or something. That __probably__ can run your monolith.
