Following yesterday’s decision, I spent the day executing the migration of critical modules—including the Payroll and Talent Acquisition modules—into their dedicated spreadsheets.
This was no small task. Each module had to be audited to ensure its logic, data references, and scripts pointed to the correct new sheet. I used careful versioning and backup strategies to avoid data loss during migration.
The Payroll module, which relies heavily on formulas and user data, was particularly sensitive. After redirecting the logic to its new sheet, I did extensive testing to ensure salary computations and deductions were still accurate.
Next, I migrated the Talent Acquisition module. This module had fewer dependencies but required UI adjustments due to new data paths. I updated all relevant scripts and UI components to align with the new structure.
The new modular database system is already showing its advantages. Not only has performance improved, but debugging and development are easier now that each module is isolated.
