From a developers perspective
The upgrade to Rails 5 has taken several years due to the complex restructuring of the codebase to make it compatible and the challenge og competing workflows. Extensive work has been done on parallel staging and improved test coverage to ensure that this upgrade goes smoothly. The past few months have seen live running of both versions, meaning ongoing fixes had to be deployed to both platforms, which was difficult at times.
