Every web application will eventually face the need to make a significant and risky platform change. These come in the form of major framework upgrades, new deployment environments, or even porting to a new language. This need will show up again and again, regardless of the chosen architecture, be it monolith, microservice, or somewhere in between.

This approach avoids the issues that are present when attempting to execute a large platform change in one step, the path that most teams choose for this kind of change. It also increases the safety around platform changes, meaning that teams will be less likely to defer similar work in the future.

Come and learn about this approach, how to execute it, and explore the opportunities for innovation that it provides.
