Migrating HelloMainland’s frontend in stages

Project Overview

HelloMainland needed to introduce a new frontend while keeping existing parts of its franchise media platform available. Replacing the entire interface at once would have concentrated the change into a single release.

We used Nginx path routing to serve the Angular and Next.js applications under one domain. Shared authentication supported movement between the applications, and a common design system helped maintain a consistent interface. The work also included API access and deployment configuration.

The arrangement allowed routes to move to the new application in stages. Cross-application testing was important because navigation, sessions, and interface behavior had to work across both frontends.
