Legacy code maintenance
Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
Every codebase has systems no one wants to own but the business still depends on: orphaned services, unmaintained dependencies, brittle build scripts and legacy code whose authors moved on years ago. That is exactly the work we want. Descant keeps those systems patched, upgraded and running, so your team can spend its time on what comes next.
Orphaned and unowned code
Assign issues against the services and modules no team claims. Descant reads the code as it is, not as the docs say it should be.
Dependency and security upkeep
Keep end-of-life runtimes, stale packages and known vulnerabilities from piling up, one reviewed change at a time.
Quality with machinery behind it
Structured evidence and software-enforced checks carry the engineering standard through implementation, verification and independent review. Claimed fixes are checked against the resulting changes, and unverified claims remain visible to review.
Your checks and merge rules stay in force
Issues, branches, pull requests, reviews and required checks remain in GitHub. Enable automatic merging for approved pull requests, or keep the final merge with a person.
Start with an issue worth solving
Give Descant a real piece of work. Inspect the code, review the result and see what delivering it cost.
