The rollout was phased over three months. We started with internal dogfooding, expanded to a small percentage of production traffic, and gradually increased the rollout while monitoring key metrics at each stage.
Feature flags gave us the ability to decouple deployment from release. Code could be merged and deployed to production without being visible to users, enabling true continuous delivery without sacrificing stability.
Security should never be an afterthought. By integrating security checks directly into your development workflow, you catch vulnerabilities before they reach production rather than scrambling to patch them after the fact.
Accessibility isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a moral imperative and a business opportunity. Making your application usable by everyone expands your potential audience and often improves the experience for all users.
The developer experience (DX) improvements alone justified the migration. Build times dropped by 60%, hot reload became instant, and the team reported significantly higher satisfaction scores in our quarterly surveys.
