In the first part of this series, I focused on the genesis of the monolith we started at the end of 2005. I left the project in early 2007. It was planned to grow quickly, then the team would have to adapt (in size and more...). I came back on the project in 2009, this post highlights new challenges we faced from organisational point of view, evolution we made (lots of experiments) and consequences until 2012 when I left again.


I would like to share an experience I started at the end of 2005 and I followed in time up to now (in 2017). In 2005, the team I was working in (3 persons) started a from-scratch rebuild of a legacy Notes application. Today, it is a huge monolith application with lots of legacy code, having several issues these kind of application have. My goal is to retrospect its history, to hightlight impacts of some choices and then try to find solutions.
