Evolutionary Architecture & Migration Strategies — System Architectur…
Changing an architecture safely over time instead of freezing it or rewriting from scratch
Steps in Evolutionary Architecture & Migration Strategies
- Evolutionary Architecture & Fitness Functions — advanced · Automated checks that continuously verify an architecture still meets its important qualities
- Strangler Fig Pattern — advanced · Incrementally replacing a legacy system by routing traffic to new services piece by piece
- Branch by Abstraction — advanced · Introducing an abstraction layer so a component can be swapped without a long-lived feature branch
- Parallel Run & Versioned Migrations — advanced · Running old and new implementations side by side to validate correctness before full cutover
- Managing Architecture Change Over Time — advanced · Sequencing large architectural changes so the system stays shippable throughout
- Versioning & Coexistence of Old and New Architectures — advanced · Supporting two architectural generations at once during a long migration window
