Complex migrations: Why failing forward helps push past resistance to change

On demand

Change is hard, even when you know the change is worth it.

When Wayfair moved to GitHub Enterprise Cloud in 2023, the task of moving 15,000+ repositories and 3,000 active users was daunting. There were numerous security, network, and operational challenges to surmount, but with careful preparation our migration ran smoothly. We're releasing the migration toolkit Wayfair developed as open source to make it easier for others to do the same. Watch to learn how we pushed our teams to embrace discomfort and adopt a fail-forward approach, even on our most sensitive code base.

Key takeaways:

  • Learn how to handle integrations with your SDLC ecosystem to ease adoption fears.
  • Prepare thoroughly to make the migration a smooth ride.
  • Make it easy for teams to object, but impossible to opt out.
