Why we run client apps on a multihost pattern
Keep blast radius small when inherited or multi-app risk is the problem.
Recover and modernize
You inherited a system that is opaque, fragile, or too risky to keep as-is.
Inventory what matters, isolate risk, migrate or harden without pretending the old system was simple.
Fit
Access to the inherited system and honesty about what “done” means.
Not a fit
A rewrite fantasy with no inventory, or no access to the inherited system.
