#401: Migrating 3.8 Million Lines of Python

Talk Python To Me (SoundCloud)

At some point, you've probably migrated an app from one framework or major runtime version to another. For example, Django to Flask, Python 2 to Python 3, or even Angular to Vue.js. This can be a big challenge. If you had 100s of active devs and millions of lines of code, it's a huge challenge. We have Ben Bariteau from Yelp here to recount their story moving 3.8M lines of code from Python 2 to Python 3. But this is not just a 2-to-3 story. It has many lessons on how to migrate code in many situations. There are plenty of gems to take from his experience.
