Adam Prendergast & Pritesh Tailor:Just Say No 2 Rebuilds - Strangler Fig Pattern

Details
"This project needs a rebuild!" Have you ever heard this crazy statement? A decision born out of frustration. A need to modernize, but the upgrade path ahead is daunting and nearing the impossible. With a rebuild you will also lose all the hard work that has gone into an application over many years. Those "oh, I forgot it did that too!" moments that cause sweaty palms and creeping budgets. There is another way. We present the "The Strangler Fig" pattern. Taking a complex Umbraco application from V7 to V11. Incrementally migrating over time without dropping features and releasing value to the client early. This approach is not without its own challenges though. In code, infrastructure, client buy-in and most importantly, compromise. We will take a deep dive into an array of gotchas and considerations with practical approaches to solving challenges and allow you to bring more control, rigor and reassurance when migrating large, complex projects with the Strangler Fig pattern.
