Is it dangerous to maintain a project in nuxt2?
I work in a project that already has some decent amount of users and visits, the project is quite big and I have some doubts related to nuxt2 and nuxt3.
Right now the project is in a nuxt2 version, not even in the bridge version.
- How dangerous is it to stay in nuxt2, for 1 year or 2 years (security, updates, ecosystem, etc...)?
- Moving to nuxt bridge can increase the time in which it is not dangerous?
Any recommendation, or experience in migration is welcome, thank you! π

* Nuxt 2 goes EOL end of next month. After that, no updates and fixes (including security fixes) will be applied. There might be third party companies offering services for maintenance though
* Nuxt Bridge should help migrating over to Nuxt 3 βΊοΈ
Nuxt 2
Nuxt 2 LTS, EOL & Extended Support
On December 31st, 2023, Vue 2 will reach End of Life (EOL), and Nuxt 2 will follow in June 2024. Learn more about upgrading to Nuxt 3 or our extended support offer.
In my search for information I have found that many people do not recommend bridge and recommend jumping directly to nuxt3, but do not give much information about it, any reason why people do not recommend it?

My version of nuxt is using it in SSR and one of the ideas I have for migration is to start moving full views to nuxt3, while the nuxt2 version of the site is alive, mount a nginx and based on the path it decides if it goes to the nuxt3 or nuxt2 version, I have not found much information about this approach, I know I would lose the SPA behavior in navigation and that I would have to move parts of the state to cookies so that the shared state could exist, has anyone considered this way to migrate? (in my head it sounds very good, but I would like to hear external experiences and opinions).
be aware that this post is 1y old and bridge evolved a lot since then π
This detail is true

Works fine for the time of migration but it is important to make sure to "migrate" the internal/external links correctly so that they don't do SPA navigation
