Application Retirement vs In-House Solution
Hey tech fam! Lilly here, coming at you from my cozy Seattle apartment where I’m wrapped in my favorite blanket and sipping some bubble tea while diving into today’s hot topic. So, you’re probably wondering about Application Retirement vs In-House Solution – trust me, I’ve been there! When I first started my dev job after Northwestern, I was totally confused about whether to retire our legacy applications or keep maintaining them in-house. It’s like when anime fans debate sub vs dub – everyone has an opinion, but let’s break it down in simple terms.
Application Retirement vs In-House Solution is basically deciding whether to sunset your old applications and move to modern alternatives, or keep maintaining them yourself. Think of it like my massive collection of COD games – do I keep all the old versions running on separate systems (in-house solution), or do I retire them and move everything to the latest platform (application retirement)
Before I dive deeper, can I be real with you Writing these tech blogs while paying off student loans is like trying to climb Diamond rank in COD with a broken controller!

Real-World Example
It’s like how the Attack on Titan fan community had to decide whether to stick with their fan-made platforms or transition to official streaming services. Some chose to retire their custom solutions, while others maintained their in-house platforms for the unique features they offered.
As someone who straddles both the tech and gaming worlds, I’ve seen this play out in fascinating ways. When our team at work faced this decision with our inventory management system, we ultimately chose application retirement because the maintenance costs were higher than my student loan payments (and trust me, that’s saying something!).
