Execute CodeRabbit major re-architecture and migration strategies with strangler fig pattern. Use when migrating to or from CodeRabbit, performing major version upgrades, or re-platforming existing integrations to CodeRabbit. Trigger with phrases like "migrate coderabbit", "coderabbit migration", "switch to coderabbit", "coderabbit replatform", "coderabbit upgrade major".

CodeRabbit Migration Deep Dive

Overview

Comprehensive guide for migrating to or from CodeRabbit, or major version upgrades.

Prerequisites

  • Current system documentation
  • CodeRabbit SDK installed
  • Feature flag infrastructure
  • Rollback strategy tested

Pre-Migration Assessment

Step 1: Current State Analysis

# Document current implementation
find . -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.py" | xargs grep -l "coderabbit" > coderabbit-files.txt

# Count integration points
wc -l coderabbit-files.txt

# Identify dependencies
npm list | grep coderabbit
pip freeze | grep coderabbit

Step 2: Data Inventory

interface MigrationInventory {
  dataTypes: string[];
  recordCounts: Record<string, number>;
  dependencies: string[];
  integrationPoints: string[];
  customizations: string[];
}

async function assessCodeRabbitMigration(): Promise<MigrationInventory> {
  return {
    dataTypes: await getDataTypes(),
    recordCounts: await getRecordCounts(),
    dependencies: await analyzeDependencies(),
    integrationPoints: await findIntegrationPoints(),
    customizations: await documentCustomizations(),
  };
}

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Setup (Week 1-2)

# Install CodeRabbit SDK
npm install @coderabbit/sdk

# Configure credentials
cp .env.example .env.coderabbit
# Edit with new credentials

# Verify connectivity
node -e "require('@coderabbit/sdk').ping()"

Phase 2: Adapter Layer (Week 3-4)

// src/adapters/coderabbit.ts
interface ServiceAdapter {
  create(data: CreateInput): Promise<Resource>;
  read(id: string): Promise<Resource>;
  update(id: string, data: UpdateInput): Promise<Resource>;
  delete(id: string): Promise<void>;
}

class CodeRabbitAdapter implements ServiceAdapter {
  async create(data: CreateInput): Promise<Resource> {
    const coderabbitData = this.transform(data);
    return coderabbitClient.create(coderabbitData);
  }

  private transform(data: CreateInput): CodeRabbitInput {
    // Map from old format to CodeRabbit format
  }
}

Phase 3: Data Migration (Week 5-6)

async function migrateCodeRabbitData(): Promise<MigrationResult> {
  const batchSize = 100;
  let processed = 0;
  let errors: MigrationError[] = [];

  for await (const batch of oldSystem.iterateBatches(batchSize)) {
    try {
      const transformed = batch.map(transform);
      await coderabbitClient.batchCreate(transformed);
      processed += batch.length;
    } catch (error) {
      errors.push({ batch, error });
    }

    // Progress update
    console.log(`Migrated ${processed} records`);
  }

  return { processed, errors };
}

Phase 4: Traffic Shift (Week 7-8)

// Feature flag controlled traffic split
function getServiceAdapter(): ServiceAdapter {
  const coderabbitPercentage = getFeatureFlag('coderabbit_migration_percentage');

  if (Math.random() * 100 < coderabbitPercentage) {
    return new CodeRabbitAdapter();
  }

  return new LegacyAdapter();
}

Rollback Plan

# Immediate rollback
kubectl set env deployment/app CODERABBIT_ENABLED=false
kubectl rollout restart deployment/app

# Data rollback (if needed)
./scripts/restore-from-backup.sh --date YYYY-MM-DD

# Verify rollback
curl https://app.yourcompany.com/health | jq '.services.coderabbit'

Post-Migration Validation

async function validateCodeRabbitMigration(): Promise<ValidationReport> {
  const checks = [
    { name: 'Data count match', fn: checkDataCounts },
    { name: 'API functionality', fn: checkApiFunctionality },
    { name: 'Performance baseline', fn: checkPerformance },
    { name: 'Error rates', fn: checkErrorRates },
  ];

  const results = await Promise.all(
    checks.map(async c => ({ name: c.name, result: await c.fn() }))
  );

  return { checks: results, passed: results.every(r => r.result.success) };
}

Instructions

Step 1: Assess Current State

Document existing implementation and data inventory.

Step 2: Build Adapter Layer

Create abstraction layer for gradual migration.

Step 3: Migrate Data

Run batch data migration with error handling.

Step 4: Shift Traffic

Gradually route traffic to new CodeRabbit integration.

Output

  • Migration assessment complete
  • Adapter layer implemented
  • Data migrated successfully
  • Traffic fully shifted to CodeRabbit

Examples

Quick Migration Status

const status = await validateCodeRabbitMigration();
console.log(`Migration ${status.passed ? 'PASSED' : 'FAILED'}`);
status.checks.forEach(c => console.log(`  ${c.name}: ${c.result.success}`));
