What's the plan, full (parallel) rewrite or refactor?

  First order of business: 1) Fix the issues with email notification logic 2) Get them off of the very expensive & complicated AWS stack We've migrated staging and testing to a DO Droplet with DO MySQl/Redis stack. Moving to DO with plenty of headroom is a 10th of the cost of AWS! 3) After that, not sure at this stage. Most likely we will refactor low hanging fruit. A ground up rewrite would require knowing all of the business logic. We'll just begin cleaning it up and getting it into a manageable state. We don't know what we don't know yet! :-)

    I'm in a similar situation to yours, and I've kind of settled on a similar approach: put out the most pressing fires and reassess 3-6 months down the line. At first I had thoughts to refactor but now I just don't want to deal with the complexity, not to mention I have end-users pressing me. I'll have to tolerate the spaghetti, but at least make it produce correct output. Best of luck with the migration to DO :)
