Listen "Shopify’s massive storefront rewrite (Interview)"
Episode Synopsis
Maxime Vaillancourt joined us to talk about Shopify's massive storefront rewrite from a Ruby on Rails monolith to a completely new implementation written in Ruby. It's a fairly well known opinion that rewrites are "the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make" and generally something "you should never do." But Maxime and the team at Shopify have proved successful in their efforts in this massive storefront rewrite and today's conversation covers all the details.
