Strangler Fig with serverless and an event bus
WHAT IT TESTS: applying incremental migration with serverless. OUTLINE: API Gateway acts as the routing facade, new features run as Lambda functions, an event bus decouples and fans out to new services, and traffic shifts feature by feature until the monolith…
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you can map the Strangler Fig pattern onto serverless primitives. ANSWER OUTLINE: API Gateway is the facade intercepting requests; it routes most paths to the legacy monolith and forwards selected paths to new Lambda functions that reimplement those features. To go event-driven, the monolith or new functions publish domain events to an event bus like EventBridge, which fans them out to new serverless consumers, decoupling components.
