Migrations - an Upgrade Story

on YouTube ↗13m

" summary

Claims that an incremental rewrite centered on infrastructure fixes more than a full stop-and-rewrite: Hibob builds a UI component library (Storybook), a monorepo, and a custom light store powered by RxJS, then uses ngUpgrade to keep releasing features while migrating. They hit concrete problems—large bundle size, lazy-loading pain, duplicated server calls from dual apps—but shipping only Angular pages quickly and migrating with minimal changes speeds development, improves consistency, and ultimately succeeds as a pragmatic tradeoff.
