List of Tech Migrations

list of public tech migrations (create a PR to if you have correction or addition), originally from this blog which sometimes copied to this medium account.

note:

• migration can be partial (not whole stack, since most companies out there not using single programming language/database anyway)
• year = year of the article/presentation, or the year of migration if stated on the article/presentation.
• discuss here: reddit thread / ycombinator discussion
