Modernize Your Legacy Frontend Without a Rewrite

Rewrites don't fail because of the new framework. They fail because of everything the old app does that nobody wrote down.

MigrateX moves legacy frontends โ€” Ember, Backbone, Angular, jQuery โ€” to React one feature at a time, while your product keeps shipping.

  • ๐Ÿ” Map everything first. Every route, service and hidden side effect, before a line is ported.
  • ๐Ÿ”€ Ship behind a switch. Each feature can be turned back to the old app instantly.
  • โœ… Prove parity. The same tests run on old and new. It goes live only when both pass.
  • ๐Ÿงน Leave nothing behind. Old code, switches and glue removed. One clean codebase.

No feature freeze. No launch day.
