Video: Sophie Koonin – So You’ve Decided to Do a Technical Migration

It is always great to welcome Sophie back at beyond tellerrand. This time she came back with a little more technical topic than last time and that was great as the idea is to have a well balanced line-up with tech and non-tech talks. So here is the video of Sophie Koonin at beyond tellerrand Berlin 2024.

So You’ve Decided to Do a Technical Migration

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 they recently completed at Monzo she’ll take you through some of the different outcomes of technical migrations and the things they learned along the way.
