For many, the logic that is required for new, modern systems already exists in the form of code that has already been written, fully tested, and used for multiple years in the form of thick-client Windows applications. The process of starting over, defining cloud APIs and re-implementing the logic and data tier can prove to be time-consuming and error-prone.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thriftly.io\/legacy-application-modernization\/\">Thriftly.IO<\/a>\u00a0provides a safer alternative route to modernizing existing business logic by offering a service that leverages your existing business logic code and data tier as-is, and exposes it as a reusable cloud-native web service. This allows companies to leverage technology assets they already own, while still modernizing their fleet of applications. This reuse avoids adding technical debt to your organization during the modernization process.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s take a look at how this all works by focusing on legacy C# code as an example.<\/p><h2><a name=\"_lvf1qo9w5u8i\"><\/a>The Situation: Factorant\u2019s Dilemma<\/h2><p>Factorant is a fictional factory equipment manufacturer that has been in business for over 40 years. During this time, the company has undergone many evolutions of technology. They are currently experiencing yet another technology disruption \u2014 the adaptation and change associated with moving their equipment to the Internet of Things (<a href=\"https:\/\/contentlab.com\/embedded-iot-databases-with-actian-zen-and-c-c\/\">IoT<\/a>).<\/p><p>Factorant has many legacy systems, including a tool to help technicians in the field calculate the estimated Overall Equipment Effectiveness for installed equipment based on data obtained from written equipment logs. This was originally packaged as a ruggedized laptop application in C#\/WPF, and the company is starting to move their staff to a mobile application running on their smartphones. The calculations for Overall Equipment Effectiveness will also be needed by the new cloud backend systems to calculate actuals based on the IoT telemetry gathered by their newly connected\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/contentlab.com\/embedded-iot-databases-with-actian-zen-and-c-c\/\">IoT<\/a>-enabled equipment. As these calculations are required by multiple clients (namely the mobile app and the backend cloud systems), it makes sense to leverage the code already created in the Windows WPF application and centralize it, exposing this logic as a reusable web service.<\/p><p>In this article, we will focus on extracting the existing logic from the WPF application to expose it as a RESTful web service that can be consumed by both the cloud backend systems and the new mobile application.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5222\" src=\"https:\/\/contentlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/contentlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image001.png 624w, https:\/\/contentlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image001-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p><h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44\" src=\"https:\/\/contentlab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/image001.png\" alt=\"\" \/><a name=\"_muwx3088ou8r\"><\/a>First steps &#8211; Setting up your account, software, and licensing<\/h2><p>To take advantage of Thriftly.IO services, you must first\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gateway.thriftly.io\/#!\/auth\/create\">register for an account<\/a>.
