Rewrite or refactor? How to safely move legacy apps to modern frameworks.

Sooner or later, every team faces the same question: how do we migrate from legacy code to a modern framework? Should we take the “big bang” approach and rewrite everything from scratch, or should we migrate progressively, piece by piece? In this talk, I’ll share real-world stories from large-scale frontend migrations and highlight the trade-offs of both strategies. We’ll explore the risks of freezing development for months, the complexity of running two worlds in parallel, and the decision-making criteria that help teams pick the right path.
