So You’ve Decided to Do a Technical Migration - Sophie Koonin - Pixel Pioneers 2024
---

It seems like there’s always a hot new library or framework promising great things. But people often forget about the pain and effort required to move from an old technology to a new one. How long will it take? If you finish, will it be worth it? And if you don’t, could it leave you in a worse place than where you started?

Drawing from her experience of the TypeScript migration her team recently completed at Monzo, Sophie will take you through some of the different outcomes of technical migrations and the things they learned along the way.
