" summary

A two‑day slideshow convinces a team to migrate from a single‑page React app to Next.js using the stable App Router and React Server Components running on Node with CDN‑served prebuilt HTML and client rehydration. The concrete plan is incremental: stop rewriting the whole tree, split the monolith into smaller client apps, convert pieces to server components, and treat the old app as packages so migration and feature delivery proceed in parallel.
