Legacy lifecycle of frontend
Legacy workflow
Problems
Lack of infra standarization
Redundant effort to setup build and deployment. Individual project owners have to invest a lot of time into these aspects.
Lack of design consistency
Redundancies like components carrying the same intent but having different variations (e.g., buttons, input fields, colors, etc.).
Complicated release management
Complicated builds and deployments relying on IDs, commit hashes, shell scripts, and fragile CI configuration. Lack of observability tools for predictable error and performance monitoring with no SLI/SLAs.
Lack of testing framework
Lack of testing infra, redundant effort in setting up tests, high friction for unit/integration testing.
Complicated local environment setup
High learning curve for setting up a project, local envs taking a long time to build, missing project guidelines.
Ideal workflow
