They say two things in life are certain: death and taxes. Delphi applications might just be a third — and if yours is still generating revenue, that’s something to celebrate, not apologize for.

Are you maintaining code that predates social media? Still talking to a database through the BDE? Locked to an old Delphi version because a critical component vendor vanished years ago? You’re not alone.

One of Delphi’s quiet superpowers is longevity. These aren’t fragile web apps that break on a library update, they’re workhorses. Boring, reliable, profitable workhorses.

This month we’re swapping war stories: the apps we keep breathing life into, the clients who depend on them, and how we honestly answer the question “how much longer?” If you’ve managed to modernize one of these old-timers — upgraded to FireDAC, moved to a newer Delphi version, refactored something you once thought was untouchable — we want to hear that too.

But let’s be honest: nothing lasts forever. Are you planning for the eventual end-of-life, or just hoping to outlive the code?
