Ask HN: Do you know any stories of successful large rewrites?

I'm trying to convince my manager that it's worth rewriting large parts of our web app. He's skeptical and listed some examples of failed refactors. And indeed I've heard many cautionary tales over the last 10 years of my career. But sometimes it's got to be worth it and the outcome is positive. He asked me to find examples of rewrites gone well. Do you know any?
