+
+## Database Migration Strategy
+
+### Dual-Write Pattern
+
+```python
+# Phase 1: Dual write to both databases
+class DualWriteUserRepository:
+    def __init__(self, legacy_db, modern_db: AsyncSession):
+        self.legacy = legacy_db
+        self.modern = modern_db
+
+    async def create_user(self, user_data: dict) -> User:
+        # Write to modern DB (source of truth)
+        async with self.modern.begin():
+            user = User(**user_data)
+            self.modern.add(user)
+            await self.modern.flush()
+
+        # Async write to legacy for backwards compatibility
+        asyncio.create_task(self._sync_to_legacy(user))
+
+        return user
+
+    async def _sync_to_legacy(self, user: User):
+        try:
+            await asyncio.to_thread(
+                self.legacy.execute,
+                "INSERT INTO users VALUES (?, ?, ?)",
+                user.id, user.email, user.name,
+            )
+        except Exception as e:
+            # Log but don't fail - modern DB is source of truth
+            logger.error(f"Legacy sync failed: {e}", extra={"user_id": user.id})
+
+# Phase 2: Dual read with lazy migration
+async def get_user(self, user_id: int) -> User | None:
+    # Try modern DB first
+    user = await self.modern.get(User, user_id)
+    if user:
+        return user
+
+    # Fallback to legacy, then migrate
+    legacy_user = await self._read_from_legacy(user_id)
+    if legacy_user:
+        return await self._lazy_migrate(legacy_user)
+
+    return None
+
+async def _lazy_migrate(self, legacy_data: dict) -> User:
+    """Migrate user from legacy to modern on read"""
+    user = User(**legacy_data)
+    async with self.modern.begin():
+        self.modern.add(user)
+        await self.modern.flush()
+    return user
+
+# Phase 3: Stop dual-write after 100% migrated
+async def create_user(self, user_data: dict) -> User:
+    if migration_complete:
+        # Only write to modern DB
+        return await self._create_modern(user_data)
+    else:
+        # Continue dual-write during migration
+        return await self._create_dual_write(user_data)
+```
+
+### Schema Evolution
+
+```python
+# Expand-Contract pattern for schema changes
+# Step 1: EXPAND - Add new column (nullable or default value)
+"""
+ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN email_verified BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
+"""
+
+# Step 2: WRITE BOTH - Application writes to both old and new
+class User(Base):
+    __tablename__ = "users"
+
+    # Old field (deprecated)
+    is_confirmed = Column(Boolean, default=False)
+
+    # New field
+    email_verified = Column(Boolean, default=False)
+
+    def set_verified(self, verified: bool):
+        # Write to both during migration
+        self.email_verified = verified
+        self.is_confirmed = verified  # Backwards compatibility
+
+# Step 3: MIGRATE - Backfill existing data
+"""
+UPDATE users
+SET email_verified = is_confirmed
+WHERE email_verified IS NULL;
+"""
+
+# Step 4: READ NEW - Application reads from new column
+@property
+def is_email_verified(self) -> bool:
+    # Prefer new field, fallback to old
+    return self.email_verified or self.is_confirmed
+
+# Step 5: CONTRACT - Remove old column (after all code deployed)
+"""
+ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN is_confirmed;
+"""
+```
+
+## API Versioning Migration
+
+```python
+# Version 1: Legacy API
+@app.get("/api/users/{user_id}")
+async def get_user_v1(user_id: int):
+    user = await users.get(user_id)
+    return {
+        "id": user.id,
+        "name": user.name,
+        "email": user.email,
+        "created": user.created_at.isoformat(),
+    }
+
+# Version 2: New API with improved structure
+@app.get("/api/v2/users/{user_id}")
+async def get_user_v2(user_id: int):
+    user = await users.get(user_id)
+    return {
+        "data": {
+            "id": user.id,
+            "type": "user",
+            "attributes": {
+                "name": user.name,
+                "email": user.email,
+            },
+            "metadata": {
+                "created_at": user.created_at.isoformat(),
+                "updated_at": user.updated_at.isoformat(),
+            },
+        }
+    }
+
+# Content negotiation for gradual migration
+@app.get("/api/users/{user_id}")
+async def get_user(
+    user_id: int,
+    accept_version: str = Header(default="1"),
+):
+    user = await users.get(user_id)
+
+    if accept_version == "2":
+        return format_user_v2(user)
+    else:
+        return format_user_v1(user)
+
+# Deprecation headers
+response.headers["X-API-Deprecation"] = "V1 deprecated, migrate to V2"
+response.headers["X-API-Sunset"] = "2024-12-31"
+```
+
+## Framework Migration (Flask to FastAPI)
+
+```python
+# Original Flask code
+from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
+
+flask_app = Flask(__name__)
+
+@flask_app.route("/users", methods=["POST"])
+def create_user():
+    data = request.get_json()
+    user = User(**data)
+    db.session.add(user)
+    db.session.commit()
+    return jsonify(user.to_dict()), 201
+
+# Step 1: Run both frameworks (different ports)
+# Step 2: Create FastAPI equivalent
+from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+fastapi_app = FastAPI()
+
+class UserCreate(BaseModel):
+    email: str
+    name: str
+
+@fastapi_app.post("/users", status_code=201)
+async def create_user(user_data: UserCreate):
+    async with db.begin():
+        user = User(**user_data.model_dump())
+        db.add(user)
+        await db.flush()
+        return user.to_dict()
+
+# Step 3: Proxy layer routes traffic between frameworks
+from fastapi import Request
+import httpx
+
+@fastapi_app.api_route("/{path:path}", methods=["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"])
+async def proxy_to_flask(request: Request, path: str):
+    """Route unmigrated endpoints to Flask"""
+    migrated_endpoints = {"/users", "/orders", "/products"}
+
+    if f"/{path}" in migrated_endpoints:
+        # Handle in FastAPI (new)
+        return await handle_in_fastapi(request, path)
+    else:
+        # Proxy to Flask (legacy)
+        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
+            response = await client.request(
+                method=request.method,
+                url=f"http://localhost:5000/{path}",
+                content=await request.body(),
+                headers=dict(request.headers),
+            )
+            return Response(
+                content=response.content,
+                status_code=response.status_code,
+                headers=dict(response.headers),
+            )
+
+# Step 4: Gradually migrate endpoints, update routing
+# Step 5: Shutdown Flask once all endpoints migrated
+```
+
+## Frontend Migration (jQuery to React)
+
+```javascript
+// Step 1: Load both frameworks
+// index.html
+<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
+<script src="legacy-app.js"></script>
+<div id="react-root"></div>
+<script src="react-bundle.js"></script>
+
+// Step 2: Create React wrapper for legacy components
+function LegacyWrapper({ selector, onMount }) {
+  const ref = useRef(null);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (ref.current) {
+      // Initialize legacy jQuery component
+      $(ref.current).find(selector).legacyPlugin();
+      onMount?.();
+    }
+
+    return () => {
+      // Cleanup
+      $(ref.current).find(selector).legacyPlugin('destroy');
+    };
+  }, [selector]);
+
+  return <div ref={ref} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: getLegacyHTML() }} />;
+}
+
+// Step 3: Replace components incrementally
+function UserTable() {
+  const useLegacy = !useFeatureFlag('react-user-table');
+
+  if (useLegacy) {
+    return <LegacyWrapper selector="#user-table" />;
+  }
+
+  // Modern React component
+  return (
+    <Table>
+      {users.map(user => (
+        <UserRow key={user.id} user={user} />
+      ))}
+    </Table>
+  );
+}
+
+// Step 4: Share state between jQuery and React
+window.appState = new Proxy({
+  currentUser: null,
+  notifications: [],
+}, {
+  set(target, prop, value) {
+    target[prop] = value;
+    // Notify React of changes
+    window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('appStateChange', {
+      detail: { prop, value }
+    }));
+    return true;
+  }
+});
+
+// React hook to sync with global state
+function useAppState(key) {
+  const [value, setValue] = useState(window.appState[key]);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    function handleChange(e) {
+      if (e.detail.prop === key) {
+        setValue(e.detail.value);
+      }
+    }
+    window.addEventListener('appStateChange', handleChange);
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('appStateChange', handleChange);
+  }, [key]);
+
+  return value;
+}
+```
+
+## Microservices Extraction
+
+```python
+# Monolith with tightly coupled modules
+class MonolithApp:
+    def process_order(self, order_data):
+        # Payment logic
+        payment = self.charge_card(order_data['card'])
+
+        # Inventory logic
+        self.update_inventory(order_data['items'])
+
+        # Notification logic
+        self.send_email(order_data['user_email'])
+
+# Step 1: Identify bounded contexts and extract
+# New Payment Service (separate codebase/deployment)
+from fastapi import FastAPI
+
+payment_service = FastAPI()
+
+@payment_service.post("/payments")
+async def process_payment(payment: PaymentRequest):
+    charge = await stripe.create_charge(payment.amount, payment.card)
+    await db.save_payment(charge.id, payment.order_id)
+    return {"payment_id": charge.id}
+
+# Step 2: Modify monolith to call extracted service
+class MonolithApp:
+    def __init__(self, payment_client: PaymentClient):
+        self.payment_client = payment_client
+
+    async def process_order(self, order_data):
+        # Call payment microservice instead of local code
+        payment = await self.payment_client.process_payment(
+            amount=order_data['total'],
+            card=order_data['card'],
+            order_id=order_data['id'],
+        )
+
+        # Rest still in monolith (for now)
+        self.update_inventory(order_data['items'])
+        self.send_email(order_data['user_email'])
+
+# Step 3: Event-driven communication
+# Payment service publishes events
+@payment_service.post("/payments")
+async def process_payment(payment: PaymentRequest):
+    charge = await stripe.create_charge(payment.amount, payment.card)
+
+    # Publish event instead of direct coupling
+    await event_bus.publish("payment.completed", {
+        "payment_id": charge.id,
+        "order_id": payment.order_id,
+        "amount": payment.amount,
+    })
+
+    return {"payment_id": charge.id}
+
+# Inventory service subscribes to events
+@event_bus.subscribe("payment.completed")
+async def handle_payment_completed(event):
+    order = await orders.get(event['order_id'])
+    await inventory.reduce_stock(order.items)
+
+# Monolith is now just orchestration
+async def process_order(order_data):
+    # Fire and forget - services are autonomous
+    await event_bus.publish("order.created", order_data)
+```
+
+## Language Version Upgrade (Python 2 to 3)
+
+```python
+# Use six library for compatibility during migration
+import six
+
+# Works in both Python 2 and 3
+if six.PY2:
+    from urllib2 import urlopen
+else:
+    from urllib.request import urlopen
+
+# Gradual type hint adoption
+def process_user(user_id):  # type: (int) -> dict
+    """Python 2 compatible type hints"""
+    return {"id": user_id}
+
+# After Python 3 only
+def process_user(user_id: int) -> dict:
+    """Modern type hints"""
+    return {"id": user_id}
+
+# String handling migration
+# Python 2
+user_name = unicode(raw_name, 'utf-8')
+
+# Compatibility
+user_name = six.text_type(raw_name)
+
+# Python 3
+user_name = str(raw_name)
+```
