The Challenge

ICFM, a Switzerland-based fintech company, had a well-written but tightly coupled React codebase. The challenge: update the platform to support multiple projects, modernize dependencies, and future-proof the architecture—without breaking what already worked.

Our Approach

  • Monorepo Migration: Led the transition to a monorepo, enabling code sharing and modular development across multiple projects.
  • Refactoring: Broke up the legacy codebase into libraries and applications, making the code more maintainable and scalable.
  • Dependency Upgrades: Tackled the hardest part—updating dead or abandoned libraries. Where possible, found replacements; where not, ported and tested critical code in-house.
  • Collaboration: Worked closely with the experienced ICFM team to ensure a smooth transition and knowledge transfer.

The Result

  • Multi-project support unlocked for the platform
  • Modern, maintainable codebase ready for future growth
  • All critical libraries updated or replaced
  • Project delivered on time, with a happy client

Why It Matters

This project shows that real software engineering isn’t just about writing new code—it’s about making the hard updates, refactoring for the future, and delivering value even when the path is tricky. FuzzyCloud helps teams ship, scale, and stay sane—even when the job is “just an upgrade.”
