LLM 驱动的 UI 组件库迁移
At Zalando, we continuously seek ways to improve our processes and focus on finding efficient solutions to complex challenges by using suitable new technologies. The in-house UI library project is one practical example of how we tackled technical debt efficiently by leveraging LLMs.
在Zalando，我们不断寻求改进流程的方法，并专注于通过使用合适的新技术找到高效的解决方案来应对复杂的挑战。内部UI库项目就是一个实际例子，展示了我们如何通过利用LLMs有效地解决技术债务。
Overview of migration project
迁移项目概述
At Zalando, I work in Partner Tech, where we focus on empowering our partners to offer their products for sale on our platform (or supply to Zalando as a retailer). As the main interface between Zalando and our partners, we develop a range of user interfaces to facilitate their day-to-day operations.
在 Zalando，我在合作伙伴技术部门工作，我们专注于赋能我们的合作伙伴在我们的平台上销售他们的产品（或作为零售商向 Zalando 供货）。作为 Zalando 和我们的合作伙伴之间的主要接口，我们开发了一系列用户界面，以便于他们的日常操作。
Over time, our department had developed two distinct in-house UI component libraries, each being used in different types of partner-facing applications. This fragmentation led to several challenges impacting our internal efficiency and partner experience:
随着时间的推移，我们部门开发了两个不同的内部UI组件库，分别用于不同类型的面向合作伙伴的应用程序。这种碎片化导致了几个影响我们内部效率和合作伙伴体验的挑战：
- Inconsistent user experience across different partner facing applications
- 不同面向合作伙伴的应用程序之间用户体验不一致
- Duplicated design and development efforts
- 重复的设计和开发工作
- Design side complexity in maintaining two design languages
- 维护两种设计语言的设计侧复杂性
- Increased maintenance complexity for the engineering teams
- 增加了工程团队的维护复杂性
- Higher onboarding time for new developers
- 新开发者的入职时间较长
To resolve the above challenges, we initiated a project to migrate our partner facing applications from one of the UI component libraries to the other one. The project's scope encompassed 15 sophisticated B2B applications, and due to significant differences between the source and target UI component libraries, this migration required substantial resources and time.
为了解决上述挑战，我们启动了一个项目，将我们的合作伙伴面向的应用程序从一个UI组件库迁移到另一个。该项目的范围涵盖了15个复杂的B2B应用程序，由于源UI组件库和目标UI组件库之间存在显著差异，这次迁移需要大量的资源和时间。
