Re:Upgrading GitHub from Rails 3.2 to 5.2 by titusjohnson on Friday September 28, 2018 @03:16PM (#18096210)
- 10 year old codebase under active development.

- 2 major versions and 4 years out of date.

- Upgrade started as a half-hearted "in your free time" effort with no official team, or maybe 1 dev (article says both).

- Upgrade included "cleaning up technical debt and improving the codebase", (you could define almost any work under that umbrella).

- At the end there were only 4 devs full-time on the upgrade.

I don't know of any platform that would make the above situation all that much easier...
