Personal example I am living through.

By the estimates of another team, it will take 2-3 months to build a wrapper around their codebase (it is that entangled) and throw that in EC2. The whole project will become infested with that codebase and those issues because as we all know, a “temporary fix” is never temporary. The codebase doesn’t cover anywhere near what we have in mind for features and extensibility is … yeah.
