The Strangler Fig pattern is a recommended approach for migrating away from a monolith, allowing organizations to make incremental progress towards the goal while minimizing disruption to their clients. By placing a facade in front of the monolith and gradually removing or replacing its components, organizations can decouple themselves from the monolith without affecting their consumers. This approach leverages Federation as a critical enabler, providing a productive change framework that allows for rapid progress with minimal waste of time and money. The key technical aspect is to bring about productive change quickly while managing risk, using an API Gateway to fetch data responses and a Supergraph contract to decouple the system. By following this pattern and compartmentalizing away unnecessary complexity, organizations can successfully migrate away from their monoliths, leveraging Federation to deliver digital transformations on time and on budget.
