Aura (formally known as Lightning Aura Components) is a legacy UI framework that was replaced by the modern, web standards-based Lightning Web Components (LWC) in 2018. Despite the many performance and security benefits of LWC, tens of thousands of Aura components still remain in use today, primarily due to the cost and effort associated with migration. As I started working on the sixth episode of the Agentforce Vibes Decoded video series, I ventured into the realm of migrating from Aura to LWC using Agentforce Vibes . In this post, I’ll present Agentforce Vibes and the Salesforce DX MCP tools that helped with this migration, share my experience, and suggest some practical tips to make the process easier.
