Case study of SVN to GIT Migration:
Tech Migration Diaries – Essentials to champion the transformative journey
“We’ve got to do a migration!” Some may dread this thought or just be happy in the current ways of working. Change being the only constant, technical migrations are therefore inevitable in the life of a devops professional. However, they come with many challenges – involves challenging the status quo, process changes, breaking away from comfort zones, etc – but instead of dreading the thought of migration, we need to face it to reap the benefits.
In this presentation, I’m sharing my thoughts on technical migrations using a case study involving svn-to-git migration, the challenges, lessons, the joy, etc.
