a monolith endpoint without a big-bang rewrite

We extracted one high-churn billing endpoint behind a strangler facade. Dual-writes ran for two weeks while we compared totals nightly. A feature flag controlled read traffic so we could roll back instantly. The hardest part was matching edge-case rounding in legacy invoices. Cutover finished with no customer-facing downtime and a smaller blast radius. We kept the facade until three more endpoints followed the same path.
