Journey Steps

  1. 1Step 1 — Migrate API versions without breaking clients: start with "Ship vN+1 alongside vN behind the same gateway; no big-bang cutover"
  2. 2Step 2 — Run zero-downtime schema migrations: start with "Expand: add nullable columns/tables first; deploy code writing both paths"
  3. 3How it fits together: Expand-contract thinking applies to both schema AND endpoint surface. Parallel-run is the whole game.
