The temptation in legacy UI work is to rewrite everything at once. In practice, the safer path is to modernize the shell, keep the business rules stable, and retire the old patterns in phases.
- Start with a thin migration layer so the application can run in the new framework without breaking the workflow.
- Move shared components and routing first, then upgrade the more fragile screens that depend on them.
- Treat performance and accessibility as part of the migration rather than a separate cleanup project.
What matters most
Modernization is less about a dramatic rewrite and more about replacing legacy drag one step at a time.
