Challenge
A critical monolith constrained release velocity and obscured failure modes. The client required extraction of bounded contexts into services without unacceptable downtime or loss of audit history—while continuing feature work for the business.
Solution
We applied a strangler pattern: new capabilities behind stable APIs, dual-write and backfill strategies where needed, and feature flags to control traffic. Kubernetes hosted stateless services; data stores were chosen per domain with explicit consistency requirements.
Delivery
Cutover windows were rehearsed with rollback scripts. Compliance stakeholders received traceability from legacy records through migration jobs into the new audit model.
Outcome
Production traffic moved incrementally; the client retained a full audit trail. The program continued with maintenance and new services rather than a one-off “big bang” rewrite.
