AngularJS Migration Services
If your live application still uses AngularJS (Angular 1.x), we can assess its front end and replace it in stages while protecting the workflows people rely on. AngularJS is different from modern Angular, which has its own support lifecycle.
What does an AngularJS migration need to preserve?
Official AngularJS support ended in January 2022. The business question is how to replace a working interface without changing the rules users and integrations rely on by accident. We map routes, forms, validation, permissions, state, accessibility and the API contracts behind key journeys. AngularJS's support notice confirms the lifecycle; it does not by itself decide the replacement framework.
What could it move to?
One route is to build a React or Next.js interface with TypeScript against existing APIs. Another is to assess a move to current Angular if your team and application make that sensible. We may retain the back end initially, improve the API contracts in a later stage, or modernise both layers where tightly coupled code makes a front-end-only change impractical.
Three decisions that shape the scope
A useful migration plan makes these choices explicit before the implementation budget is fixed.
Map the real workflows
Capture the screens, edge cases and permissions that matter to users, including roles that standard test accounts miss.
Choose a transition boundary
Work out whether old and new screens can coexist around stable routes and APIs, or whether a larger release is safer.
Compare behaviour and usability
Use automated checks alongside user acceptance to confirm continuity, accessibility and a worthwhile UX improvement.
How does the live system stay safe?
The old interface can often continue serving users while a new route or module is built and tested. We define the API responses, authentication behaviour and data state that both versions rely on, then agree how traffic moves between them. A rollout might replace one workflow at a time; highly shared state or a tightly coupled build can make that harder, which the initial assessment should expose.
From assessment to release
Each stage has a tangible decision point so you can review cost and risk as the work progresses.
Inspect the front end
Identify AngularJS modules, routes, libraries, build tooling and unsupported dependencies.
Select the architecture
Compare supported Angular with React/Next.js and agree what stays in the back end.
Build and verify by workflow
Establish baseline tests, migrate bounded journeys and test API parity and usability.
Roll out safely
Release in agreed stages where feasible, monitor problems and retire legacy code when the new route is proven.
AngularJS Migration questions
No. AngularJS refers to the older 1.x framework, whose official support ended in January 2022. Modern Angular is a different framework; whether it is the best target depends on your code and team.
Often not. We can retain a working back end if its APIs, security and support position are suitable. A separate back-end migration may make sense if those parts are also constrained.
Sometimes. We assess routing, authentication, shared state, assets and deployment before proposing a phased approach. A tightly coupled application may need a different release plan.
Yes, provided we distinguish intentional improvements from behaviour that users still need. We agree the new journeys and acceptance criteria before treating a changed screen as complete.
