This post details Spotify's strategy for tackling technology migrations and reducing tech debt. Key contributions include: establishing a company-wide migrations map with negotiated priorities and deadlines, consolidating communication through Backstage, adopting a product management approach for migrations with dedicated PMs, alpha/beta testing, and internal training, and leveraging automation to abstract infrastructure changes and send automated PRs. The 'Tech Insights' plugin in Backstage is highlighted for gamifying migration progress.
