SQL Server 7 backups restored into Azure SQL, a Classic ASP app rebuilt in Blazor, and the Visual FoxPro book tools pointed at the new database until their replacements shipped.
A music-chart publisher's entire archive lived on SQL Server 7, a Classic ASP application and Visual FoxPro book-generation tools, a stack nobody could hire for on hardware that would not last. The business ran on it every day, so it could not be taken down to be replaced.
Restored the old backups into Azure SQL, rebuilt the legacy application for the cloud with user and admin security on Entra ID, and kept the FoxPro book-generation tools running against the new database throughout. Built a data validator that pulls chart data from an outside scraped source, transforms it to the publisher's own conventions, and shows an editor a diff of exactly what will be written before anything goes to production. Used an LLM to reverse-engineer legacy records with a confidence score on each and statistical sampling to verify rather than trust the output.
Live on Azure. The validator found that weeks-at-peak figures had been silently inflated for years, a data error nobody knew they had.
