🚀 A Wild Magento Adventure! 🚀 Recently, we had an interesting business case come our way. A client reached out for help after migrating their site to Magento 2. After almost two years, they decided to take a nostalgic trip back to Magento 1. Yes, you heard that right! 🤔 After nearly two hours of conversation, I tried my best to convince them to stick with the shiny new Magento and fix their existing issues. But alas, my persuasive skills seemed to be on vacation! 🏖️ So, we rolled up our sleeves and migrated their site back to OpenMage. Now, if you've ever tried to do a reverse migration, you know it's not exactly a walk in the park. 🏞️ Spoiler alert: There’s no easy tool for that! We also managed to connect their "new old" site with their ERP system since the last version supporting ERP is 1.9.2. Talk about playing a game of technological Tetris! 🎮 Are you still working with Magento 1? Have you had any interesting experiences like this?

Wow, what a wild ride! 🙌 Kudos to you for managing that reverse migration and ERP connection—definitely not a task for the faint-hearted! It’s amazing how OpenMage still has its place in some businesses’ hearts (and stacks), even after Magento 2 came along. Cheers to your team for pulling off some real tech Tetris! 🎉
