They used a strangler fig migration pattern to migrate endpoints one by one without downtime, implementing hexagonal architecture with domain-driven design. The team of five completed the project in three months, achieving safer software through Rust's type system and faster development cycles. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
