Migrating a SaaS from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 (with Sumit Kumar)

The second half of the conversation with Sumit Kumar focuses all on the technical side of his SaaS.

At first, Michael and Alex talk about Sumit's experience with the migration from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 - and we all know this isn't an easy one. Further, the Composition API vs. the Options API, as well as structuring code and writing good composables are discussed.
And of course, the question if Sumit considered rewriting the application based on another tech stack was part of it too - he had really good reasons why he didn't!

Time to tune in.

Enjoy the Episode!
