Evergreen Legacy Applications
summary
Shows a practical migration from a Java/JSP + Backbone/Marionette app to React inside a MongoDB Atlas front end, with an isolated rewrite of registration pages that launches successfully and avoids a full rewrite. Describes using a mixin viewWithReact, a higher‑order connectBackboneToReact to sync Backbone models to React, moving from renderInto to React portals, open sourcing the glue, and shaving a 20,000 lines chunk while keeping production running.
