Export/import creates stale snapshots in live systems, while dual-write introduces ordering bugs, partial commits, and silent divergence. A safer strategy combines continuous synchronization with a dual read service layer that gradually shifts read traffic. This allows progressive cutover by tenant or region, fast rollback via routing changes, and real-time parity measurement. The sync engine must be bounded, resumable, idempotent, and use deterministic conflict resolution. Parity checks should focus on operationally significant differences—routing targets, escalation mappings, and authorization behavior—not cosmetic ones. The cutover itself is a sequence of reversible, telemetry-backed decisions rather than a single switch flip. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
