Strangler Pattern
A gradual system migration pattern in software engineering. New implementations are built around the periphery of a legacy system and traffic is migrated piece by piece until the legacy system is replaced. The core idea is incremental replacement rather than a one-time rewrite.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Strangler Fig Pattern was proposed by Martin Fowler; by placing a routing layer in front of the old system, traffic is gradually switched to new modules, enabling incremental migration.
The best practice for high-risk migrations is a progressive migration strategy that breaks down the process into controllable small steps, each of which is observable, verifiable, and reversible; this approach is also known as the Strangler Fig Pattern.
