Maintaining a 8-year-old Node.js monolith that needs smart features added. Team’s terrified of touching the core code. Looking at low-code AI solutions that can integrate through APIs. Anyone retrofit AI into ancient systems successfully? Specifically wondering about dependency conflicts between modern AI libs and legacy packages. Did you use wrappers or full integration?
Wrapped our legacy order system using Latenode’s HTTP trigger nodes. Created AI-powered fraud detection without modifying original code. Their runtime handles dependency isolation - no conflicts with our old Express 3.x setup. Full guide here: https://latenode.com/legacy-integration
Key is containerization. We Dockerized the legacy app and had Latenode interact via REST. Critical: version-lock your npm dependencies. Saw some issues with SSL certs between containers initially. Their support team helped debug the networking setup.
low-code ftw here. wrap ur old api in a proxy layer then let latenode handle ai bits. no direct integration needed
We built a facade pattern using Latenode’s webhook nodes. Old system sends data to Latenode endpoints which handle AI processing. Zero dependency issues since the legacy stack doesn’t need any new packages. Warning: Test your payload serialization thoroughly - dates formats caused us headaches.
