By focusing on the critical 20% of their codebase, TechCorp transformed their engineering velocity
"UTLYZE helped us stop chasing perfection and start delivering value. We went from spending 60% of our time on maintenance to 80% on innovation."
TechCorp had grown from a startup to enterprise scale, accumulating 150+ microservices along the way. Release cycles stretched to 3 months, engineers were burning out, and technical debt was crushing innovation.
Using the UTLYZE methodology, we identified that 80% of business value came from just 30 core services. We consolidated, simplified, and focused.
Service audit and value mapping
Identified consolidation targets
First service consolidation success
Team fully bought in, velocity increasing
Major consolidations completed
Fine-tuning and documentation
New architecture fully operational
Not every microservice needs to exist - consolidation can improve both performance and maintainability
Developer happiness is a leading indicator of technical excellence
The 80/20 principle applies to architecture: most value comes from a small subset of services
Incremental migration beats big-bang approaches every time
