FAQ | Legacy Refactor

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What languages do you support?

We modernize legacy code written in: COBOL, FORTRAN, Ada, RPG, VB6, PowerBuilder, Perl, Delphi, Python 2, C, and Java.

How much does refactoring cost?

Legacy Refactoring Pricing:

$0.20 per line (up to 250,000 lines)
$0.12 per line (250,001-500,000 lines)
$0.08 per line (500,001+ lines)
$250 minimum charge

Premium services (Security Audit, Performance Analysis, etc.) have separate fixed pricing based on codebase size.

How long does the process take?

Most jobs complete within hours, not weeks. Typical processing times:

Small codebases (<50K lines): 1-2 hours
Medium codebases (50K-250K lines): 2-6 hours
Large codebases (250K+ lines): 6-24 hours

Is my code secure?

Yes. We implement multiple security layers:

Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL)
Encryption at rest (AWS S3 server-side encryption)
Automatic deletion after 24 hours
No human access to your code
SOC 2 compliant infrastructure

What happens to my code after 24 hours?

All uploaded source code, generated outputs, and related data are automatically and permanently deleted from our systems 24 hours after job completion. We do not retain backups.

Do I own the refactored code?

Yes. You retain complete ownership of all original and refactored code, documentation, tests, and reports. There is no vendor lock-in.

What if the refactored code doesn't work?

All deliverables pass 100% validation testing before delivery. We generate comprehensive test suites to verify behavior equivalence between original and refactored code.

Can you refactor proprietary or confidential code?

Yes. Our automated process is designed for enterprise-grade confidentiality. Your code is never seen by humans and is automatically deleted after 24 hours.

What file formats do you accept?

Upload your codebase as a .zip file. We support all common source code file extensions for the 11 languages we modernize.

Do you provide support after delivery?

Yes. We provide email support for questions about deliverables. For ongoing support, custom rule development services are available starting at $2,000/month.

Can you migrate from one framework to another?

Yes. Our Custom Rule Development service creates domain-specific transformation rules for framework migrations (e.g., Flask to FastAPI, Struts to Spring Boot).

What's included in Performance Analysis?

Terraform templates (AWS/Azure/GCP)
CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
Kubernetes manifests
Deployment guide

Do you offer refunds?
