Thanks for sharing this Beekey, I enjoyed thinking this article over this morning.

I didn't realize how intricate transitions for technology that no longer is the best choice for your product like with Yandex or responses to failure could be.

Glad you enjoyed the post!

One thing to consider is that transitions are often inevitable. New technology comes out all the time and sometimes the benefits of it are worth the costs of switching. Even if it isn't new technology per se, other things like programming languages also get upgrades with breaking changes. Part of the reason I jumped on the micro service bandwagon is because it's easier to change lots of small code bases than it is several larger code bases.
