Case Study

Legacy Next.js Replatform

A high-risk migration where uptime constraints blocked full rewrites.

Problem

Deployment breaks, weak module boundaries, and unowned release decisions caused frequent hotfix cycles.

Solution

  • Defined domain boundaries and migration sequence
  • Introduced release checklist with build, smoke, and rollback gates
  • Shifted risky integrations behind feature flags and staged rollout

Result

Release failure rate dropped by 58% in 5 weeks. Production freeze windows were removed for standard releases.

Role

Architecture lead, release governance design, migration execution support.

Tech Stack

Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, GitHub Actions.

Proof

Release reports, incident logs, and gate compliance records were delivered to stakeholders weekly.

Lessons & Tradeoffs

A phased migration took longer than a big-bang rewrite, but preserved uptime and reduced organizational risk.
