Migrating a Legacy Telemedicine Platform with Zero Downtime

When Doctari, a Latin American telemedicine provider, realized its core platform was running on outdated and fragile infrastructure, it became clear that a full-stack upgrade couldn’t wait. The challenge wasn’t scale, but survival: key components were built on deprecated technologies, and every day added more technical risk.

With only one month to act, and a live system being used daily by patients and doctors, they needed someone who could gather the team to modernize their platform without delay. And that’s when they came to us.

Updating a Legacy Stack Under Intense Time Pressure

The project presented two main challenges:

#1

Outdated technologies across the stack

Migrating the backend from Python 2 to Python 3 and upgrading Django to its latest stable version.

#2

A compressed timeline with minimal testing buffer

With only one month to execute the entire migration, there was little time for an extensive hiring process. The margin for error was almost nonexistent.
