Source-first migration planning
Map windows, analysis/data model, procedures, classes, reports, web pages, services and deployment rules into Safire source-backed artifacts.
Migration
A source-first escape path for long-lived business systems.
Safire is being designed for developers who have valuable business applications and cannot afford to be trapped by hidden metadata, closed project formats or fragile upgrade paths.
Business RAD workflow
Keep dictionary thinking, generated browse/update patterns, reports, business procedures, class-friendly data models and practical desktop deployment.
Developer control
The migration goal is readable Safire source, not another black box. IDE productivity must always have a source and command-line escape route.
Useful migration targets
- Customer, inventory, invoicing, payroll and scheduling systems.
- Browse/update windows and validation-heavy maintenance screens.
- Reports, exports, imports and customer-specific business rules.
- Windows services, REST/SOAP endpoints and WebSocket service paths.
- Installer, code-signing, help and support requirements.
Current Safire mapping direction
Safire now has source-backed concepts for dictionaries, windows, reports, CRUD, classes, table/class mappers, dynamic web, business objects, project targets, help and signing plans. The next phase is deeper real compiler/runtime/IDE behavior.
Explore Safire. Review the docs. Shape what comes next.
Safire is in active Version 1 development. The best reviewers are experienced business software developers who know the cost of fragile tools, hidden metadata and uncontrolled AI edits.
