Azure-native orchestration layer unlocked new capabilities without replacing the stack

A global retailer's VP of Engineering needed to ship new digital services without touching a fragile, decades-old core infrastructure. A Grafter designed and deployed a modular Azure orchestration backbone — Event Grid, Service Bus, Functions — that connected legacy and modern systems without requiring the legacy replacement the business had been dreading for years.

The Challenge

New digital services blocked by fragile legacy core. Full replacement too risky and expensive. Engineering team paralyzed between shipping new features and maintaining old ones.

The Approach

Grafter designed an event-driven orchestration layer that sat above the legacy stack. New services connected via the orchestration layer, not directly to legacy systems. Full architecture packaged as modular Enterprise Skills.

Enterprise Skill captured Azure Event-Driven Orchestration

Packaged, tested, and left behind for the internal team to run and extend independently — no ongoing dependency on CodeVine.

This engagement was delivered by the engineers who now power the CodeVine Grafters program. Customer details are anonymized; CodeVine-branded customer deployments are currently in early access.
