@bajtos, I've incorporated your comments and also moved some of the migration guide tasks to stretch goal. We currently are committing 26 points + 2 tasks need to be estimated. It would be a good committed number of story points due to vacation time and we can have more flexibility to fix bugs/usability issues.

@bajtos, I've updated the Jan milestone based on our discussion today:

• have more focus / people to work on the migration story
• remove the "from model definition to REST" epic / tasks.

Could you please add the migration tasks that you think we should work on in Jan? Thanks.

[dhmlau]

similarly, we can add chore: update dependency ts-morph to v6 #4274?

[bajtos]

Yes please!

LGTM 👍

Could you please add the migration tasks that you think we should work on in Jan? Thanks.

I don't have a strong preference, any non-Epic tasks from #453 are good candidates.

I see that you have picked "How to migrate datasources from LB3 to LB4" and "How to migrate boot scripts", that's a good plan 👍

#4376 is opened. closing this PR. Thanks!
