# Migrating APIs
## Overview
Implement API migrations between versions, frameworks, or platforms with minimal downtime using strangler fig pattern, parallel running, and traffic shadowing. Generate migration plans that map old endpoints to new equivalents, transform request/response formats, and validate data consistency between legacy and target implementations.
## Prerequisites
- Source API codebase and OpenAPI specification accessible for analysis
- Target framework or platform environment provisioned and accessible
- Traffic routing capability for gradual cutover (reverse proxy, feature flags, or API gateway)
- Database migration tools if schema changes accompany the API migration (Flyway, Alembic, Prisma Migrate)
- Integration test suite covering all existing API consumers
## Instructions
