Migrating a live platform from one technology stack to another
When joining Stuart in 2015, the existing platform wasn’t built to scale and the code base was below acceptable quality standards. I decided to fully rewrite the platform, and switch from a language to another. The existing PHP code was rewritten to Ruby while keeping the business going, and increasing the number of deliveries per day. The platform didn’t suffer from downtimes, and the whole codebase was migrated within months.
This talk is about our experience successfully switching a live platform and outlines what we did to prevent downtimes and minimise issues.
