The client's enterprise MVC and API platform, built on .NET Framework 4.6 with over 40 dependent libraries, faced severe limitations as transaction volumes surged. Although the system operated reliably for years, its outdated framework and SQL Server 2008 backend created major performance and security bottlenecks that prevented the platform from scaling effectively and restricted real-time analytics for modern digital payment environments.
MagnusMinds transformed RiskNet's legacy payment platform into a secure, scalable, and cloud-ready system. With .NET 6.0 and Azure SQL, the application now supports higher transaction volumes, delivers faster performance, and aligns with modern architectural best practices — ensuring long-term maintainability and the ability to scale with future business growth.
Our Approach
Challenge & Solution
The Challenge
The application was built on .NET Framework 4.6 — out of support and exposed to ongoing security vulnerabilities — with dependencies across more than 40 class libraries making the upgrade complex. The legacy system struggled with increased transaction volume amid the global rise in digital payments, with limited real-time decisioning and analytics. The SQL Server 2008 database lacked modern performance and security features, and cloud-native deployment with read replicas for real-time analytics was not possible without migration to a modern database.
Our Solution
.NET Platform Upgrade: MagnusMinds conducted a detailed assessment of all MVC, API, and dependent class libraries, prepared a comprehensive migration document, and migrated the entire codebase from .NET Framework 4.6 to .NET 6.0 — converting project structures, refactoring deprecated APIs, updating NuGet packages, and modernizing configuration, logging, and dependency injection across all 40+ projects. Database Modernization: The database was upgraded from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2019, then migrated to Azure SQL — enabling elastic scalability, automated high availability, read replicas for real-time analytics and reporting, and improved security through Azure's built-in monitoring tools.
