The trigger was Amazon's Vega OS, which positioned React Native as the primary development path. Rather than a full rewrite, they started with a proof of concept covering login, playback, and input handling. The key architectural principle was sharing code where it made sense while keeping platform-specific behavior explicit. The migration also drove an organizational shift from platform-centric teams to value-stream teams focused on product areas like playback, content, and account management. Performance still required real-device telemetry across 800+ Android TV device types. AI tools are noted as useful for onboarding and refactoring but not for architectural decisions. The core lesson: share implementation until a platform gives a real reason to split it. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
