The DARK SIDE of Code Migration | Apollo GraphQL CEO Matt DeBergalis

Code migration is transforming how modern software is built, but few are talking about the risks that come with it. In this episode, we explore how code migration is reshaping API security, infrastructure, and the very foundations of enterprise development. From GraphQL to AI-driven architecture, we uncover what’s really happening behind the buzzwords, and why companies are struggling to keep their systems secure during massive migrations. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or engineering leader, this conversation reveals the hidden trade-offs of code migration, the growing complexity it introduces, and how to protect your systems before it’s too late. If you’re planning your next modernization effort or already knee-deep in legacy refactors, this is a must-watch. We break down practical lessons, real-world examples, and strategies to make code migration work for you, not against you. Get Tern Stories in your inbox: https://tern.sh/youtube

Code Migration Secrets: How to Finish in Half the Time with AI

Code migration isn’t hard because the code is complex, it’s hard because the real problems only reveal themselves once you’re already in the middle of it. In this episode, I break down why code migration projects so often drag on for months or years, and how AI can change that story completely. From Stripe and Pinterest to Airbnb, Zapier, Twitter, and Slack, you’ll see how teams faced huge migration challenges, and how better planning, faster learning, and smarter communication turned the tide. I’ll share lessons on why every code migration is unique, how small overlooked details can derail entire timelines, and how AI can uncover those issues before they blow up. If you want your next code migration to feel less like chaos and more like a smooth, predictable process, this episode will give you the roadmap.
