Orchestrating Agent Swarms: Automating Express→Next.js Migrations with Task Planning & QA Loops
Workshop
The Problem
Enterprise engineering teams are burdened by aging Node.js/Express monoliths tightly coupled to fragile templates and untyped data layers. Manually refactoring these massive codebases into modern cloud-native architectures is notoriously slow, introduces severe regressions, and creates massive code review bottlenecks for developer workflows.

The Solution
Instead of manual rewrites, modern teams can harness advanced agentic-programming patterns to orchestrate dedicated agent swarms. This workshop guides advanced engineers through an automated refactoring and migration pipeline using Google Antigravity. Attendees will learn how to leverage structured task planning, parallel subagents, and automated LLM code reviews to transform a legacy Express monolith into a strongly-typed Next.js application.

Key Takeaways
By the end of this hands-on session, attendees will be able to:

1. Orchestrate Agent Swarms: Author deterministic task plans and custom Agent Skills that direct parallel subagents to audit legacy middleware, API contracts, and schemas.

2. Execute AI Refactoring & Migrations: Automate large-scale structural code generation while establishing rigorous LLM-assisted code review gates.

3. Implement AI-Assisted Testing & QA: Set up autonomous CI/CD verification loops where agents execute failing tests, parse error logs, and self-correct code until runtime parity is perfectly proven.
