A journey to a new world
summary
A monolithic CMS is incrementally carved into services over 18 months: teams replace CMS “heads” with a GraphQL layer and microservices, migrate content-change events into Kafka, and build two unified frontends—a responsive web app and a native app—implemented with React, react-native and GraphQL. The result serves multiple TV brands from one multi-tenant backend, restores 24/7 publishing availability, adds live search and recommendation services, and reduces coupling so editors and external agencies deploy content faster and with fewer hotfixes.
