Bloomberg has detailed its experience using a hybrid LLM-deterministic pipeline for large-scale code migration across thousands of its repositories. The initiative, named Automated Uplift, focused on migrating Python packaging and C++ build systems, resulting in 729 successful migrations out of 2,333 generated pull requests. Key findings indicate that while generating migrations was manageable, the primary bottleneck was the cost for owning teams to review, test, and deploy these changes. The process was more efficient when changes could be verified within the pipeline before a pull request, and when migrations were uniform enough for fixes to be transferable across repositories. AI
