# Strangler Fig Orchestrator Skill

Orchestrates the strangler fig pattern implementation for gradual migration from legacy to modern systems with traffic routing and cutover management.

## Purpose

Enable incremental migration for:
- Traffic routing configuration
- Feature flag management
- Gradual cutover orchestration
- Rollback coordination
- Legacy component sunset

## Capabilities

### 1. Traffic Routing Configuration
- Configure API gateway rules
- Set up routing weights
- Handle header-based routing
- Manage path-based routing

### 2. Feature Flag Management
- Create feature flags
- Control rollout percentage
- Manage user segments
- Handle A/B testing

### 3. Gradual Cutover Orchestration
- Plan cutover phases
- Execute incremental shifts
- Monitor health metrics
- Coordinate teams

### 4. Rollback Coordination
- Define rollback triggers
- Automate rollback
- Preserve state
- Document recovery

### 5. Progress Tracking
- Track migration progress
- Monitor adoption rates
- Report on status
- Visualize timeline

### 6. Legacy Component Sunset
- Plan decommissioning
- Verify no traffic
- Archive data
- Clean up resources

| API Gateways | Traffic routing | Config/API |
| LaunchDarkly | Feature flags | API |
| Split.io | Feature management | API |
| Consul | Service mesh | API |
| Istio | Traffic management | Config |
