The narrative of a migration can get lost, and I’ve sometimes heard a migration framed as “that infrastructure team just wants to play with new technology” when the reality is an immovable business or compliance need that infrastructure team doesn’t love either. Equally, I’ve heard “that product team doesn’t care about paying down technical debt; they only want to create new features,” when the team in question has already spent half of the quarter reacting to other migrations and are desperate to get started on their own objectives.
