List of Tech Migrations

list of public tech migrations (create a PR to if you have correction or addition), originally from this blog which sometimes copied to this medium account.

note:

• migration can be partial (not whole stack, since most companies out there not using single programming language/database anyway)
• year = year of the article/presentation, or the year of migration if stated on the article/presentation.

[Question] Could it be useful to also have a visual representations of these migrations?

Hi!
Could it be useful to also have a visual representations of these migrations?
Something like this (a big one):

I basically converted the migrations into something consumable by Graphviz, and then plotted it.

Hypothetically it can be re-generated on a commit with GitHub actions, but even manual update once in a while could possibly be useful. Or maybe not :)

What do you think?

P.S. I will also try to find a way to group vertices somehow, like per languages/databases/etc., to make it more readable, but that's for the next time
