After years of frustrations with Jenkins, Slack has successfully implemented a conversion tool to automate the migration of CI jobs from Jenkins to GitHub Actions. This tool, created during a summer intern project, significantly reduces migration time, saving over 1,300 hours. The conversion involves using multiple tools, including Python scripts and large language models to ensure accuracy, and has shown promising results by making most workflow files highly accurate. End-user feedback has been largely positive, highlighting the tool's effectiveness and ease of use.
