Cypress to Playwright migration guide

Cypress has served as our E2E testing tool for several years, offering simplicity and developer-friendly syntax. However, limitations such as performance issues with large test suites, and memory leak have surfaced as our testing needs evolved.To support a smooth transition from Cypress to Playwright as our end-to-end (E2E) testing framework, this proposal outlines the creation of a comprehensive Cypress to Playwright Migration Guide. The guide will serve as a hands-on reference for engineering teams, ensuring minimal disruption, knowledge transfer, and successful re-implementation of tests using Playwright.
