All infrastructure eventually hits its limits. Without timely migration, teams risk falling into tech debt—where upgrades feel daunting and change seems futile. Like homes that need constant touches and fixes, or a remodel long overdue, systems demand ongoing care, leaving teams hamster wheeling just to stay in place. A successful migration ends with a clear plan, a defined path, and strong execution—enabling services to evolve and stay relevant. This talk shares how one mature, distributed service transitioned from a fully managed to a serverless control plane—executed with zero downtime using low-risk, proven strategies.
