Section 1
The migration math
A typical framework migration — Pages Router to App Router, Vue 2 to 3, Express to Hono — is a six-month engineer-quarter of repetitive work. The pattern per file is well known; the volume is the killer. Codex shines here because it does not get bored.
Plan the migration before delegating
- 1Identify the migration pattern per file type
- 2List incompatibilities that need manual judgement
- 3Pick a small slice — 5-10 files — and migrate it manually first
- 4From the manual migration, write the per-file recipe
- 5Hand the recipe and the slice to Codex, ask it to migrate the next 50 files
Compare the options
| Migration | Codex fit | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Pages Router to App Router | High | Server vs client component boundary |
| Vue 2 Options to Vue 3 Composition | High | Reactive system differences |
| Class components to hooks | High | Lifecycle ordering |
| Mongo to Postgres | Medium | Schema mismatch needs human design |
| REST to GraphQL | Low | API design questions need humans |
Applied exercise
- 1Pick a migration you have been postponing
- 2Migrate 5 files manually and document the pattern
- 3Hand the next 25 files to Codex with the recipe
- 4Compare the time per file: manual vs delegated. Decide if delegating the rest is worth it
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: migrations need a recipe and a flag. Codex turns the volume into a non-issue.
